What is parallels and meridians ?
➡ Parallels of latitude are circles that are a certain angular distance north or south of the equator. They are parallel to each other, meaning that any two parallels are a constant distance apart and do not intersect. As you move farther north or south away from the equator, the parallels get smaller.
Meridians of longitude are circles that are a certain angular distance east or west of the prime meridian. They are all the same size and they all intersect each other at the north and south poles.
