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.

All meridians of longitude converge (meet) at the north and south poles.

Lines that meet only at one or two points can't be parallel.

Because the Earth is a globe. Lines of longitude converge at the poles.

Parallel lines do not ever meet. Any two longitudes meet at the North and South Poles.
