Detailed explanation-1: -Latitude is the measurement of distance north or south of the Equator. It is measured with 180 imaginary lines that form circles around Earth east-west, parallel to the Equator. These lines are known as parallels.

Detailed explanation-2: -These lines are known as meridians. Each meridian measures one arc degree of longitude. The distance around Earth measures 360 degrees. The meridian that runs through Greenwich, England, is internationally accepted as the line of 0 degrees longitude, or prime meridian.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lines of latitude, also called parallels, are imaginary lines that divide the Earth. They run east to west, but measure your distance north or south. The equator is the most well known parallel. At 0 degrees latitude, it equally divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern hemispheres.

Detailed explanation-4: -Latitude and longitude are a system of lines used to describe the location of any place on Earth. Lines of latitude run in an east-west direction across Earth. Lines of longitude run in a north-south direction.

Detailed explanation-5: -The imaginary horizontal lines running in east-west direction on the Earth’s surface are known as Latitudes or parallels of Latitude as they are Parallel to each other.
