Lines of latitude also called parallels to Equator.

Step-by-step explanation:

Latitude helps to measure the degree of the earth from north to south. It is divided the earth through 180 imaginary lines ( in the form of a ring) in the direction east to west. These among those 5 imaginary lines were major lines that mark the center and extreme most degrees.

Keeping the Equator as the center holding 0 degrees and the two poles (north and south) holding 90 degrees. Each latitudes lines is called parallels. Each line measures one degree parallel to the Equator between the poles.
