	Latitude : Parallel of latitude (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Latitude is an angular measurement ranging from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles.
		Only at latitudes between the tropics is it possible for the sun to be at the zenith.
		All locations of a given latitude are collectively referred to as a parallel, because they are coplanar, and all such planes are parallel to the equator.

	* Parallel - (GIS): Definition
		parallel of latitude A circle, or approximation of a circle, on the surface of the Earth, parallel tot he Equator, and connecting points of equal latitude...
		A parallel (of latitude) is a line on a map that represents an imaginary east-west circle drawn on the Earth in a plane parallel to the plane that contains the equator...
		Because the lines of latitude are parallel and evenly spaced, a degree of latitude represents a constant distance on the ground.

	Latitude
		All locations of a given latitude are collectively referred to as a line of latitude or parallel, because they are coplanar, and all such planess are parallel to the Equator.
		A line of latitude is approximately a small circle on the surface of the Earth; except at the Equator, it is not a geodesic since the shortest route between two points at the same latitude usually involves moving further away from the equator.
		A specific latitude may then be combined with a specific longitude to give a precise position on the Earth's surface.

	Parallel
		Parallel (geometry) occurs in geometry lines or planes are parallel, then every point on one is located exactly the same minimum distance from the other line or plane.
		Parallel computing is the simultaneous execution of the same task (split up and specially adapted) on multiple processors in order to obtain faster results.
		In electronics, components are said to be "in parallel" if current branches to flow through both simultaneously, as against "in series" where the current flows through first one, then the other, along a single path.

	MSN Encarta - Arctic Circle
		Arctic Circle, parallel of latitude on the surface of the Earth at 66°33’ N. It marks the southern limit of the area in which the Sun does not rise on the winter solstice (about December 21) or set on the summer solstice (about June 21).
		The latitude of the Arctic Circle is determined by the angle between the Earth’s axis of rotation and a line perpendicular to the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun.
		The latitude of the Antarctic Circle is the complement of this angle and therefore its precise latitudinal value varies between 66°33’29.552” N and 66°33’47.552” N. How to cite this article:

		Moving north from the Equator, parallels of latitude are numbered from zero degrees (0°) at the Equator to 90 degrees north (90° N) at the North Pole.
		Moving south from the Equator, parallels of latitude are numbered from zero degrees (0°) at the Equator to 90 degrees south (90° S) at the South Pole.
		New Orleans is located where the parallel of latitude that is 30 degrees north of the Equator crosses the meridian of longitude that is 90 degrees west of the Prime Meridian.

	38th parallel -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		parallel of latitude that in East Asia roughly demarcates North and South Korea.
		The line was chosen by U.S. military planners at the Potsdam Conference, in July 1945, as an army boundary, north of which the U.S.S.R. was to accept the surrender of the Japanese forces in Korea and south of which the Americans were to accept the Japanese surrender.
		Early in the morning of June 25, 1950, the armed forces of Communist North Korea smashed across the 38th parallel of latitude in an invasion of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) that achieved complete surprise.

	Circle of latitude
		A circle of latitude is an imaginary circle around the Earth made up of all the points that have the same particular value for their latitude.
		These are based on the rotation of the Earth in relationship to the Sun.
		The other lines of latitude are not the shortest distance between points (it is for this reason that an aeroplane travelling between a European and North American city on the same lattitude will fly further north, over Greenland for example), and are thus not really "lines" in the geometry of the sphere.

		It depends on exactly what the wording is when you define the word "parallel." If you mean that the curves never intersect, then there can be parallel curves (can you think of an example?) If you mean that they intersect "at infinity," but nowhere else, then there can be parallel curves.
		One often speaks of "parallels of latitude." I suppose that the term parallel was used since the planes containing the circles of equal latitude are parallel.
		The term "lines of latitude" may mean the curves on a map that correspond to the parallels of latitude.

	How charts and maps are made - BoatSafe Kids!
		The latitude of any place on the globe is its distance north or south of the equator, measured in degrees, from 0º at the equator to 90ºN at the north pole and 90ºS at the south pole.
		There are also 60 nautical miles in one degree of longitude measured east-west along the equator, but you mustn’t measure along any other parallel of latitude, as the parallels get shorter as you move north or south away from the equator.
		In the middle latitudes of the USA and Europe, they can be used for charts of small areas, but conical projections are usually used for large areas.
