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 ?"

The only line that runs parallel through the equator is THE EQUATOR. [The Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn are parallel to the equator, but are north and south of it (respectively) at 23.5 degrees. So they do not run through the equator.] The lines of longitude all run through the equator, but they are not parallel to each other since they all meet up at both the North and South Poles.
it sits between 25 and 30 parallels
Clearwater and Tampa are both at the 28th parallel in Florida.

The 45 degree latitude parallel runs through Oregon in the United States.
Parallels, as the name inplies, run parallel to each other in an east-west orientation. Meridians run through both poles, and so cannot be parallel.

There are no parallel lines that run FROM the equator. Lines that are parallel TO the equator are the latitudes.
parallel lines. they run side by side but never intersect
Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator. Lines of longitude run vertically - passing through both poles.
