The lines don't measure anything, any more than the marks on a ruler do any
measuring for you.
Latitude is an angle on the Earth's surface. It's the angle, measured north or south,
from the equator to whatever location you want to talk about. On a map or globe,
there may be some lines printed along the way, to help estimate the angle.
Parallels would be 2 or more lines that run in the same direction and do not intersect.
Lines of latitude, also know as parallels, run east-west. They measure the angular distance north and south of the equator.
Sometimes they will be called parallels. The middle is the equator (as you know.).

Parallels are also called lines of constant latitude, on maps and globes.
Parallels would be 2 or more lines that run in the same direction and do not intersect.
Lines of latitude, also know as parallels, run east-west. They measure the angular distance north and south of the equator.
latitude longitudes are known as meridians
They are sometimes called "parallels of latitude", or just "latitude lines". The east-west lines on the map measure the latitude in degrees north or south of the equator.
They are sometimes called "parallels of latitude", or just "latitude lines". The east-west lines on the map measure the latitude in degrees north or south of the equator.

Earth's parallels are called lines of latitude. They are imaginary lines that run parallel to the equator and are used to measure the distance north or south of the equator in degrees.
Lines of latitude, also know as parallels, run east-west. They measure the angular distance north and south of the equator.
Parallels measure distance from the equator to the poles, specifically the North and South Poles. They are lines of latitude, with the equator at 0 degrees latitude and the poles at 90 degrees latitude. Each degree of latitude corresponds to approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers) on the Earth's surface.

Another name for latitude lines is parallels. These lines run parallel to the equator and are used to measure how far north or south a location is from the equator.
