i believe a meridian are the imaginary lines going around the globe, for example, the Equator. Parallels are the imaginary lines going around the globe from the north to the south poles

The equator is parallel not meridian
differences between equator and prime meridian
San Francisco is between the 38th parallel and the 37th parallel. It is also located on about the 122nd meridian west.
The only lines that can run parallel to the Prime Meridian on any map are other meridians of longitude, and the only map on which they can be printed parallel to it is a Mercator Projection. They are not really parallel to the Prime Meridian.
parallel
Meridian
Parallels, as the name inplies, run parallel to each other in an east-west orientation. Meridians run through both poles, and so cannot be parallel.
The difference between the east and the west hemisphere is one is on the west side of the Prime Meridian and the other is on the eastern side of the Prime Meridian.
Nothing is parallel to any meridian. The equator is a parallel of latitude, and is parallel to all the other parallels. This is a big part of the reason that, collectively, they are called 'parallels'.
All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.No meridian of longitude is parallel to any others.-- All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.-- No meridian of longitude is parallel to any other one.
It is a parallel. It is parallel to the equator.
The equator is the parallel of zero latitude.
