Parallels of Latitudes: All parallel circles from equator up to the poles are called parallels of latitude. Latitudes are measured in degrees.

Meridians of longitude: The imaginary lines which run from one pole to another are called longitudes. These are also called meridians of longitude. Unlike latitudes; all meridians of longitude are of equal length. Hence, it was difficult to decide the zero degree longitude. So, all countries decided that the line passing through Greenwich should be made the zero degree longitude.
