You may be thinking of the distance between lines of longitude.
The length of the lines of latitude decrease because the Earth is round, so the length of the line is shorter at the poles than it is at the Equator.
The distance between the lines of longitude is shorter as you move toward the poles, again, because the Earth is round. All lines of longitude are the same length.
No, parallel lines do not meet at a right angle. In theory, parallel lines never meet. In practice, parallel lines on earth could meet at the North Pole and/or the South Pole. Perpendicular lines meet at a right angle.
360 degrees from pole to pole and 180 degrees in circles parallel to the equator.
No. All meridians of longitude converge (meet, come together) at the north pole and at the south pole. If there's any other place where they're not all together, then they can't be parallel. Everywhere else except at the poles, they spread all the way around the Earth. So they're not parallel.

No. One characteristic of parallels is that they never meet or intersect.But all of the meridians of longitude meet at both the north pole andthe south pole.
Lattitude lines appear as concentric circles when viewed from above a pole (North Pole or South Pole). So as you approach a Pole, the circumference of the latitude line decreases.
The length of parallels of latitude decreases as you move south from the North Pole to the equator. This is because the lines of latitude get closer together as you move towards the equator due to the shape of the Earth.
positive deflection is recorded on the ECG, while if it moves towards the negative pole, a negative deflection is recorded.
Sun rises and set due to rotation of earth. As sun moves from equator length of day increases or decreases depend upon which hemisphere sun is i.e. deceleration of sun. Length of the day rapidly increases towards the pole. As per your question it depended upon your position w.r.t. latitude. If you are close to pole length of the day increases more than if you are close to equator.
The distance between the longitudes decreases towards the poles. This is because the lines of longitude converge towards the poles, resulting in shorter distances between them as you move towards the North or South Pole.
No, the longitudinal lines run perpendicular to the Equator, from the North Pole to the South Pole. They converge at the poles and are farthest apart at the Equator.
Measured in miles, the length is 12,430.
The magnetic field is strongest at the poles of a magnet. Magnetic field strength decreases as you move further away from the poles towards the center of the magnet.
Yes, the imaginary lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole (longitude lines) are parallel to each other. These lines are equidistant from each other and converge only at the poles.
Towards the south pole.
The 45th parallel north is halfway between the Equator and the North Pole.
points towards the south. In the southern hemisphere, the Earth's magnetic field causes the north pole of a compass needle to point towards the magnetic south pole.
