Answer:
Parallels of latitude are imaginary lines going east and west that are used for calculating distances from the equator. On a perfect sphere they would be the same distance apart. Earth Is not perfectly spherical so slight difference may occur between each successive pair of latitudes.
Meridians of longitude are imaginary lines connecting the north pole from the south pole.. They are not parallel. Meridians of longitude are used for calculating distances going east or west of a given point.
