Question

difference between Parallels and Meridians

Answer 1

Parallel is an alternate term for a line of latitude on a map, while meridian is an alternate term for a line of longitude. Lines of latitude are located parallel to the Equator and never intersect, which is why they are also called parallels

Answer 2

Answer:

Parallels are known as parallels of latitude and are circles that run from the equator to the north and south poles.

Meridians are lines of reference between the two poles of the earth and are known as meridians of longitude.

Parallels of latitude are not equal in length while meridians of longitude are.

Parallels of latitude are horizontal lines while meridians of longitude are vertical lines.
