Question

why are lattitude parallel to each other but longitude are not?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The earth is round so we measure latitude and longitude with degrees just like we did with our compass. ... Lines of Longitude are referred to as Meridians of Longitude. These lines are not parallel to each other. They come closer and closer to each other as they approach the north and south poles, where they all meet.

Answer 2

Answer:

The orientations of latitude and longitude most likely stem from the use of compasses - longitude lines go north-south, latitude go east-west. ... For the other set of parallel lines however, there is no natural plane, and no obvious simple method of divining your location
