Parallel / Latitude	Meridian / Longitude
Parallels are also known as latitudes	Meridians are also known as longitudes
Represented by the Greek letter phi (Φ)	Represented by the Greek letter lambda (λ)
The first parallel is the equator. It is latitude 0.	Greenwich is the prime meridian (0°)
Parallels don’t intersect.	All meridians intersect at two places; the North Pole and the South Pole.
Values range from 0 (the Equator) to 90 (the north and south poles)	Values for longitude range from 0 (the Prime Meridian) to 180 degrees
Letters N and S are used to denote the location	Letters E or W are used to represent direction
Positive values may be used in the Northern hemisphere and negative values in the Southern hemisphere	Positive values can be used east of the Prime Meridian and negative values in the west of the Prime Meridian
Every parallel in the same hemisphere has a different length.	Every meridian on Earth has the same length.
Every parallel is a full circle	Every meridian is a semi-circle
Each parallel crosses all longitudes	Each meridian crosses all latitudes
To cross all parallels, you have to travel 12,000 miles	To cross all meridians, you have to travel 24,000 miles
Locations with the same latitude do not fall in the same time zone	All locations on the same longitude fall in the same time zone
