Lines of Latitude are called parallels because the lines parallel, or run in the same direction as the equator. ... Lines of Longitude intersect the equator at right angles but end at the North and the South Poles. Lines of Longitude are also called meridians. Meridian comes from a Latin word that means midday.

Unlike latitude lines longitude lines are not parallel. Meridians meet at the poles and are the widest part at the equator. Zero degrees longitude is called the Prime meridian
