Lines running parallel to the equator are called?

You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.


Lines of latitude are horizontal or vertical?

They are parallel to the earth's equator. So if you consider the equator as being horizontal then they are horizontal.
