• 182

• 181

Answer 1

The total number of the parallels of Latitude are 181.

Explanation:

The total number of parallels of latitude is 181 because:

• There are 90 parallels in the Northern Hemisphere (from the Equator to the North Pole).
• There are 90 parallels in the Southern Hemisphere (from the Equator to the South Pole).
• The Equator itself is a parallel, making the total count 181 (90 + 90 + 1).
