Yes. Latitude lines are often referred to as "lines of parallel" because they represent planes through the Earth. Their points on the Earth's surface are defined by the same angle : the angle between a line from Earth's center (to each point) and a line to the corresponding point on the equator.
Note that this means the distance between degrees of latitude is constant (approx. 69 miles or 111 km), while longitudinal lines get closer together as you move poleward.

Longitude lines are often called "meridians".

What are the imaginary lines on the globe and map?
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
Another name for longitude?
Latitudes are line Parallel to the equator placed equidistance on both sides. they are therfore some times called paralles and longitude is somtimes meridian hopes this helps:D
Which lines are parallel to each other on map?
The lines are parallel on the map are called Latitudes.
Is the areas between the tropic of cancer and tropic of Capricorn called low or high latitudes?
Both! All lines of latitude between the equator and the tropic of cancer are high latitudes, and lines of latitude between the equator and the tropic of capricorn are considered low latitudes. ***THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE TROPICAL LATITUDES*** <- those I can't name
Why are there 181 lines of latitudes?
90 north latitudes + 90 south latitudes + 1 line of equator
What are vertical lines called?
They are simply just called lines.
What are the imaginary lines on the maps?
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
What are the imaginary lines on the globe and map?
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
What lines that run parallel on the earth called?
They are called the latitudes.
Another name for longitude?
Latitudes are line Parallel to the equator placed equidistance on both sides. they are therfore some times called paralles and longitude is somtimes meridian hopes this helps:D
What are lines that run parallel from the equator called?
There are no parallel lines that run FROM the equator. Lines that are parallel TO the equator are the latitudes.
What is imaginary lines called?
On the earth (and planetary/stellar bodies) they are called latitudes and longitudes.
Which lines are parallel to each other on map?
The lines are parallel on the map are called Latitudes.
What is the definition to paralles?
Two (or more) lines are parallel if they are pointing in the same (or exactly opposite) directions.
Is the areas between the tropic of cancer and tropic of Capricorn called low or high latitudes?
Both! All lines of latitude between the equator and the tropic of cancer are high latitudes, and lines of latitude between the equator and the tropic of capricorn are considered low latitudes. ***THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE TROPICAL LATITUDES*** <- those I can't name
Why are there 181 lines of latitudes?
90 north latitudes + 90 south latitudes + 1 line of equator
Are longitudes and latitudes parallels lines?
Latitude lines are parallel but not longitude lines.
