The equator is a parallel.
Meridians are imaginary semi-circles that connect the north and south poles.
"Parallels" are imaginary full circles around the Earth, and every point on a parallel
is the same distance from a pole.
The equator is the longest parallel. Every point on it is equal distances from
both the north and south poles. The latitude of the equator is zero, and all
other latitudes are measured from it.
A parallel
The Equator is a parallel. It is an imaginary line that circles the Earth halfway between the North and South Poles, dividing the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
The equator is the parallel of zero latitude.
The equator is a parallel because it is a line of latitude that circles the Earth horizontally, dividing it into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
The equator is the parallel of zero latitude.
The equator, at latitude zero.
The lines are parallel on the map are called Latitudes.
The equator is the parallel of zero latitude.
The equator is a parallel because it is a line of latitude that circles the Earth horizontally, dividing it into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
parallel
Nothing is parallel to any meridian. The equator is a parallel of latitude, and is parallel to all the other parallels. This is a big part of the reason that, collectively, they are called 'parallels'.
The equator is the parallel of zero latitude.
The equator is the parallel of zero latitude.
The equator is the parallel of zero latitude.
It is a parallel. It is parallel to the equator.
The equator is a parallel that passes through more than 30 countries.
It's actually parallel to the parallels, since the parallels are by definition parallel to the equator.
The Equator is a parallel, which runs east/west. The Prime Meridian is, redundantly, a meridian and runs north/south.
No one cares brat!
