degrees
Degrees, Minutes and Seconds of arc. Same as longitude.
The lines are never measured. They're only markers. Latitude and longitude are angles, that describe the locations of points on the surface of a sphere. They're expressed in units of angle measure, typically in decimal degrees, or degrees, minutes, and seconds.

Degrees. They are measured in degrees, minutes, seconds and fractions of a second, depending on the accuracy required
Lines of latitude run east-west as circles parallel (or horizontal lines) to the equator. Latitude measures the angle in degrees north or south from the equator where the equator is located at 0 degrees.

Latitude lines run horizontal and are measured vertically. The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude. Hope this answers your question.
latitude runs East to west. Longitude runs north to south. In other words, the lines of latitude are measured in degrees north and south of the equator and lines of longitude are measured in degrees east and west of the prime meridian.

lines of latitude
The equator. Lines of latitude are measured north (°N) and south (°S) of the equator. The maximum latitude is 90°N = North Pole, 90°S = South Pole.
Lines of Latitude run east and west (aka the Equator which is zero degrees latitude) and are measured north and south of the equator. Lines of longitude run north and south and are measured east and west from the Prime Meridian in Greenwhich, England.
