Answer 1

The parallels on the globe are marked between 0 degrees and 90 degrees on either side of the Equator. They are also known as Latitudes.

The Northern and Southern hemispheres have 89 parallel circles each. The Equator is the longest parallel and is taken as 0 degrees. The North Pole is shown as 90 degrees North while the South Pole is 90 degrees South. The circles of parallels are at right angle to the longitudes (they are perpendicular to the longitudes).
