- Angular distance east or west - Line of measure around the Earth - Line on map - Length; measure or distance along the longest line; --
distinguished from breadth or thickness; as, the longitude of a room;
rare now, except in a humorous sense. - The arc or portion of the equator intersected between

- Comparable - Comparison - Line of latitude - Running level - Extended in the same direction, and in all parts equally
distant; as, parallel lines; parallel planes. - Having the same direction or tendency; running side by
side; being in accordance (with); tending to the same result; -- used
with to and with. - Continuing a resemblance through many particulars;
