Florida occupies the range of latitude of about 24.6° to 31° north. You're free to
draw as few or as many parallels in that range as you're comfortable with. There's
no official standard set of parallels to which you're limited.
You'd never ask "What mark on the ruler is closest to your height ?" You'd simply
ask "How tall are you ?"
Lines that run parallel to the equator are called latitude lines or parallels.

Two lines in a plane are parallel if they do not intersect, meaning they maintain a constant distance between each other and will never meet.
Longitude lines are not parallel because they converge at the poles. They are farthest apart at the equator and gradually come together as they approach the poles, eventually meeting at the North and South Poles. This convergence is due to the Earth's spherical shape.
On a normal map or atlas they are vertical.
A transversal line cutting through parallel lines creates various angles
They are lines that cut through parallel lines
Any line that is not parallel to the given lines. The transversal that contains the shortest distance between the two parallel lines, is perpendicular to them.
Assume there are no lines through a given point that is parallel to a given line or assume that there are many lines through a given point that are parallel to a given line. There exist a line l and a point P not on l such that either there is no line m parallel to l through P or there are two distinct lines m and n parallel to l through P.
A line that cuts through two parallel lines.
Then the lines are parallel to each other and the alternate equal angles are created when a transversal line cuts through parallel lines.
The transversal line cuts through the parallel lines that are equal distance apart and never meet together.
transversal
The line that cuts a parallel line is called a TRANSVERSAL. When you have parallel lines and you want to show like corresponding, vertical, ect.... then the line that cut through the parallel lines is a TRANSVERSAL
Rays pass through one point. Parallel lines never meet.
When two lines are parallel, then they do not intersect.
If they were not actually parallel then they would not be parallel lines!
