Which lines run parallel to the equator?

Latitude lines run east-west around the globe, staying parallel to the equator, and they measure how far north or south you are from it. The equator sits at 0 degrees latitude, so these lines are the ones that run parallel to it. Longitude lines, on the other hand, run north-south from pole to pole and converge at the ends of the globe; the Prime Meridian is simply one longitude line at 0 degrees. A cartographer is a mapmaker, not a type of line.
