A map with parallel lines of latitude and longitude is known as a Mercator projection map. This type of map is often used for navigation purposes due to its representation of straight lines of latitude and longitude, making it easier to measure distances and plot courses. However, the Mercator projection distorts the size of landmasses, especially near the poles.
The cylindrical map projection, such as the Mercator projection, shows all latitude and longitude lines as parallel. However, this projection distorts the size of land masses the further they are from the equator.
The Mercator projection does that.
All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.No meridian of longitude is parallel to any others.-- All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.-- No meridian of longitude is parallel to any other one.
All lines of latitude are parallel with the equator.

Mercator is the type of projection which has parallel lines of longitude which disappear near the poles. The project in question also presents parallel lines of latitude even though the overall clarity gets distorted around both the North and South Poles.
lines of latitude
All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.No meridian of longitude is parallel to any others.-- All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.-- No meridian of longitude is parallel to any other one.
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.
Parallel. Latitude and longitude are perpendicular.
Latitude.
All lines of latitude are parallel with the equator.
Every parallel of latitude crosses every meridian of longitude.
The 60th parallel South is a line of latitude crossing all lines of longitude.
