Explanation:
Answer:-
Parallels of Latitude: The imaginary lines which run parallel to the equator are called the parallels of latitude.
Meridians of Longitude: The imaginary lines which run from one Pole to another are called the meridians of longitude.
Meridian of Longitude - A (geographic) meridian (or line of longitude) is the half of an imaginary great circle on the Earth's surface, terminated by the North Pole and the South Pole, connecting points of equal longitude, as measured in angular degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian.
