Question

why are lines of latitude also called parallels​

Answer 1

Answer:

Circles of latitude are often called parallels because they are parallel to each other; that is, planes that contain any of these circles never intersect each other. A location's position along a circle of latitude is given by its longitude.

These lines are called parallels of latitude because they run parallel to each other. They are measured in degrees (°) and minutes ('). The most important line of latitude is the Equator (0°). Latitude lines are written using the letters N (north of the Equator) or S (south of the Equator).
