What else can I help you with?
What are the lines that circle the globe in east-west and north-south directions?
"Lines of Latitude" and "parallels" are both used. Please note that the "lines" are imaginary; you'll never see one on the ground. Just on a map.
What is a line of longitude called besides parallel?
A line of longitude is also commonly referred to as a meridian. This imaginary line connects the North Pole and the South Pole and helps define the geographic coordinates of a location.
Are lines of latitude always parallel?
Yes. Any two lines of latitude are the same distance apart everywhere, and they never meet or cross. This is a big part of the reason that they're often called "parallels" of latitude.
Do lines of latitude meet at the south pole?
Yes, lines of latitude converge at the south pole. At the south pole, all lines of latitude merge to form a single point, making it the southernmost point on Earth where all lines of latitude intersect.
Why are Lines of latitude are sometimes called parallels because they never?
Lines of latitude are called parallels because they run parallel to the equator and never intersect each other. They are always equidistant apart and are used to measure distance from the equator in degrees north or south.

What do you call latitude lines?
Lines of latitude are often called parallels. They are referred to that because they are always parallel of one another never intersecting at any point.

Do lines of latitude meet at the south pole?
Yes, lines of latitude converge at the south pole. At the south pole, all lines of latitude merge to form a single point, making it the southernmost point on Earth where all lines of latitude intersect.
Latitude lines are also called?
Lines of latitude are called parallels, because just like parallel lines on a flat surface, any two of them are always the same distance apart and never cross each other.
Why are Lines of latitude are sometimes called parallels because they never?
Lines of latitude are called parallels because they run parallel to the equator and never intersect each other. They are always equidistant apart and are used to measure distance from the equator in degrees north or south.
WHY do latitude lines never intersect?
they are parallel
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.
Why wre latitudes otherwise called as parallels?
Because unlike lines of longitude which converge on the poles, lines of latitude are parallel to each other: that is, they never converge.
What type of line is a parallel?
Parallel lines are two lines that will never intersect, like this.________________________________________________________
Why are latitude lines called parallel lines?
All lines of latitude are parallel to the Equator, so they are sometimes also referred to as parallels. =) Because just like parallel lines on a flat surface, any two of them are always the same distance apart and never cross each other.
