Question

what are parallels of latitude and meridian of longitude??​

Answer 1

Answer:

These imaginary lines running east-west are commonly known as the parallels of latitude. The vertical lines running north-south, join the two poles. They are called the meridians of longitude. They are spaced farthest apart at the equator and converge at a point at each pole.

Answer 2

Answer:

All parallel circles from the Equator to the Poles are called parallels of latitudes. Latitudes are measured in degrees. The lines of references running from the North Pole to the South Pole are called meridians of longitudes. Longitudes are also measured in degrees.
