Parallel,
imaginary line extending around the Earth parallel to the equator
; it is used to indicate latitude. The 38th parallel, for example, has a latitude of 38° N or 38° S. See latitude and longitude.
How many parallel Earths are there?
One obvious question that arises, then, is exactly how many of these parallel universes might there be. In a new study, Stanford physicists Andrei Linde and Vitaly Vanchurin have calculated the number of all possible universes, coming up with an answer of
10^10^16
.
Does parallel world exist?
Together, these universes comprise everything that exists: the entirety of space, time, matter, energy, information, and the physical laws and constants that describe them. The
different universes within the
multiverse are called “parallel universes”, “other universes”, “alternate universes”, or “many worlds”.
Which is the largest parallel on the globe?
The largest parallel is at
the equator
, and the parallels decrease in size towards the poles. Except for positions located right on the equator (0°), parallels of latitude are described by the number of degrees that they are north (N) or south (S) of the equator.
What called parallel?
In geometry, parallel lines are
lines in a plane which do not meet
; that is, two straight lines in a plane that do not intersect at any point are said to be parallel. Colloquially, curves that do not touch each other or intersect and keep a fixed minimum distance are said to be parallel.
Which is the only Great Circle?

What is the invisible line at 0 degrees longitude?
The prime meridian
is the line of 0° longitude, the starting point for measuring distance both east and west around the Earth. The prime meridian is arbitrary, meaning it could be chosen to be anywhere.
What is the line running down the center of Earth called?
The Equator
is the invisible line that runs around the center of the Earth at 0 degrees latitude. An equator is an imaginary line around the middle of a planet or other celestial body. It is halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole, at 0 degrees latitude.
What is it called when two lines never meet?
Parallel Lines
: Definition: We say that two lines (on the same plane) are parallel to each other if they never intersect each other, ragardless of how far they are extended on either side.
Do parallel lines meet at infinity?
In projective geometry, any pair of lines always intersects at some point, but parallel lines do not intersect in the real plane.
The line at infinity is added to the real plane
. This completes the plane, because now parallel lines intersect at a point which lies on the line at infinity.
What is 180 longitude called?
The prime meridian separates the eastern hemisphere from the western hemisphere. Halfway around the world, at 180 degrees longitude, is
the International Date Line
Which is the largest circle?
As
the equator
passes through the centre of the earth it is considered as the largest circle of the earth. If the imaginary line of the equator cuts the earth then it gets divided into exact half. Hence, it is called the biggest circle of the globe. The Equator is also known as 0^ Lattitude.
Which country does prime meridian pass through?
The prime meridian is arbitrary, meaning it could be chosen to be anywhere. Any line of longitude (a meridian) can serve as the 0 longitude line. However, there is an international agreement that the meridian that runs through
Greenwich, England
, is considered the official prime meridian.
Where are the coordinates 0 0 on earth?
