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.

On the globe they are called lines of LATITUDE and are parallel to the equator.
the lines on the globe are called longitude and latitude lines the longitude lines go up and down while the latitude lines go left to right

Parallels of Latitude
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.
meridian :D LoL
These lines of latitude are called parallels.
Lines of latitude are also called parallels because they are all parallel to each other. Any two lines of latitude you choose are the same distance apart everywhere, and no two lines of latitude ever cross. Latitude 36 degrees north is called the 36th parallel north
The lines of latitiude are also called 'parallels'.
Lines that run parallel to the equator are called latitude lines or parallels.
Latitude.
From what I can remember, the latitude line located at 0 is the meridian line. But I can be wrong
because they are parallel to each other
They are lines of constant latitude, all parallel to the equator.
Lines of latitude are also called parallels (because they are all parallel to each other).
Longitude is the best term, but sometimes meridian is used. The line of longitude at zero degrees is the Prime Meridian.
The lines parallel to the equator are called lines of latitude.
