In geometry, the term "similar" refers to figures that have the same shape but potentially different sizes (length, width, height). Strictly speaking angles don't have "size" so they would not be "similar". On the other hand if we interpret the intent to be to ask about congruent angles in similar figures the corresponding angles (i.e. angles that occupy the same relative position at each intersection where a straight line crosses two others) will also be congruent.
If angles are similar in that they have approximately (but not necessarily exactly) the same measure, then their corresponding angles will also be approximately the same as each other. Stated another way:
If angles A and B are very close in measure, and angle C is the corresponding angle of angle A and angle D is the corresponding angle of angle B, then angles C and D will be close in measure within bounds that can be predicted based on the difference in measure between angles A and B.

The ratio between corresponding sides or angles of similar triangles are equal
Do similar figures always have corresponding angles that are equil?
Yes, similar figures always have congruent corresponding angles and proportional corresponding side lengths.
How can you tell if two polygons are the same?
Two polygons are similar if and only if the corresponding angles are congruent
If two parallelograms are similar then the corresponding angles are what?
If two parallelograms are similar then the corresponding angles are EQUAL.
If two rectangles are similar then the corresponding sides are?
If two rectangles are similar, they have corresponding sides and corresponding angles. Corresponding sides must have the same ratio.
