    Answer:

    Lines of Latitude are called parallels because the lines parallel, or run in the same direction as the equator. … Lines of Longitude intersect the equator at right angles but end at the North and the South Poles. Lines of Longitude are also called meridians. Meridian comes from a Latin word that means midday.
