All meridians of longitude begin and end at the same two points ... the north and south poles.
Although they all appear parallel to each other as they cross the equator, I guess it's more
comfortable to say that they're not parallel, since they all intersect.

∙ 11y agoAll meridians of longitude converge (meet) at the north and south poles.
Lines that meet only at one or two points can't be parallel.

Lines of longitude are not parallel why?
because they merge at the poles... they seem to be parallel near the equtor region..n remenber parallel lines nver meet each other... n due to the shape of our earth these lines merge at poles...
Does each line of longitude parallel to another line of longitude?
Yes No, lines of longitude are as parallel to each other as the earth is flat. All longitudes intersect at the north and south poles.
Which lines run horzonally parallel to each other?
parallel lines.....
Are the lines of latitude of parallel or perpendicular to each other?
They are parallel to each other.
What are two lines called that never cross each other?
parallel lines
Of longitude and latitude which is parallel?
Lines of constant latitude are all parallel to each other.

Why longitude lines are also called median?
meridians are imaginary lines that are not parallel to each other.
Does each line of longitude parallel to another line of longitude?
Yes No, lines of longitude are as parallel to each other as the earth is flat. All longitudes intersect at the north and south poles.
Why isn't lines of longitude parallel?
Because The lines of Longitude cross over each other at the top of the world which makes them not parallel. Parallel: Lines that never cross or meet And always stay the same distance apart.
Can perpendicular lines also be parallel lines?
Perpendicular lines can not be parallel to each other but they can be to other lines.
Do all lines of longitude meet at the equator?
Each line of latitude (the ones parallel to the Equator) crosses each line of longitude (the north - south lines).
What display lines of longitude as parallel to each other?
A mercator projection is a cylindrical map which was developed as a navigation tool. It displays line of longitude as parallel to each other.
Why wre latitudes otherwise called as parallels?
Because unlike lines of longitude which converge on the poles, lines of latitude are parallel to each other: that is, they never converge.
Which lines run horzonally parallel to each other?
parallel lines.....
Are the lines of latitude of parallel or perpendicular to each other?
They are parallel to each other.
Which lines are parallel to each other latitude or longitude?
Every line of constant latitude is parallel to all others. That's why they're often called "parallels" of latitude.
