1. What are the main characteristics of parallels
​

Answer 1

Answer:The "main characteristics" of the parallels, are:

• The distance between two latitudes is always equal.

• There are "180 parallels of latitudes" apart from the "Equator".

• The measure of the "angular distance" of the "north-south of the equator" is called the latitude.

• All the other latitudes except the equator are small circles while the equator is a "great circle".

• Each parallel of latitude is a circle.
