Question

parallels of latitude (short note)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Latitude is an angle (defined below) which ranges from 0° at the Equator to 90° (North or South) at the poles. Lines of constant latitude, or parallels, run east–west as circles parallel to the equator. Latitude is used together with longitude to specify the precise location of features on the surface of the Earth.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Parallels of latitudes can be referred to as the parallel circles from the equator up to the poles. Its distance from the equator to either of the poles is almost one-fourth of a circle round the earth, it will measure ¼th of 360 degrees, that is 90°.
