What do you call the parallel lines that circle the globe?
Lines of latitude encircle the Earth in an east-to-west direction, and are used in geography. They are called parallels and are parallel to each other and to the equator.
Which paper folding method can be used to form parallel lines?
Folding at right angles.
Can parallel lines be curved?
The usual definition is that the lines should be straight. On "alternative geometries", other definitions may be used. For example, on a sphere, the large circles (the largest you can make, whose center is the center of the sphere) replace straight lines. Note that in this case, the normal parallel axiom is no longer valid.
Who first used the symbol for parallel?
William first used the symbol for parallel.
What is the symbol for skew lines?
Well, darling, the symbol for skew lines is an "S" with a slash through it. It's like a big ol' "NOPE" sign for lines that will never meet no matter how much they try. So, if you see that symbol, just accept that those lines are going their separate ways and move on with your life.
