Do all lines of latitude and longitude intersect at right angles?
No. All of them do but two. The latitude lines at 90 degrees North and South actually coincide with the intersection of all longitudinal lines. So technically, because they coincide, they do not form any angle.
Where if at all do lines of latitude meet?
Lines of latitude never meet.
Another name for lines of latitude is what?
That line has often been called the "Equator" in song and story, and on maps as well, too.
What else are latitude lines called?
Lines of latitude are also called parallels because they are all parallel to each other. Any two lines of latitude you choose are the same distance apart everywhere, and no two lines of latitude ever cross. Latitude 36 degrees north is called the 36th parallel north
Why are lines of latitude called parallets?
Lines of latitude are called parallels because they run parallel to the equator and are equidistant from each other. This means that they are always the same distance apart from each other as they encircle the Earth.
