Solution

Parallels never meet any point. It is the circle position of longitude. All parallel circles from the Equator up and down to the poles are called meridians (or lines) of latitudes.The Equator is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into two halves; the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere.
