The imaginary parallel lines that run around the globe are the lines of latitude. They are important for locating places on the Earth's surface and are measured in degrees north or south of the equator.

What is a imaginary north south lines parallel to the prime meridian that circles the globe vertically?
Lines of longitude.
What is the name of the two sets of imaginary lines on the globe?
-- Most of the imaginary lines on the surface are parallels of latitude, meridians of longitude, political boundaries, and shipping routes. -- The imaginary lines through the center of the globe are the axis and diameters.
The equator is an imaginary circle drawn around the earth that divides it into northern and southern hemispheres What are the imaginary lines called that are parallel to the equator?
false
In which direction does line of latitude run?
Latitudinal lines run East West along the earth's surface. An easy trick to remember is thinking "lat is flat" therefore the lines are flat when you are looking at a globe or 2D map.Latitude lines can also be called "PARALLELS"
What is the term for the imaginary parallel lines that circles the earth?

Lines of longitude.
What parallel are you in?
Parallel refers to the longitude where you live. Longitudes are the imaginary lines ruled around the globe by map makers starting at the equator, zero longitude, to 90 degrees at the poles. The 60th parallel refers to 60 degrees from the equator and passes through Europe and all points on that level around the globe.
