I not even 5 minutes ago did this on homework and got it correct.
Lines of longitude run east to west and measure places expressed
in degrees north or south of the Prime Meridian. I promise I'm correct,
because I got a 100% on this. If you're a homeschooler it's right in the
fine print just look.
=================================
Marvelous ! The breathless, excited, enthusiastic, self-congratulatory answer above is totally wrong.That's going to depend on how your map is printed.
Most large-scale maps of the Earth are printed with either North or South at the top.
On those maps, parallels of constant latitude cross the map, from one side margin
to the other.

They run horizontally, because if you look up the question"do lines of latitude go vertically or horizontally?", the answer there is vertically, so the answer is horizontally.
Lines of longitude run vertically on a map.
Every point on a 'line' of longitude has the same east/west coordinate.
So the only way you can possibly move along the line is north or south.
No. Each line of constant latitude stays where it is,
and is drawn in an east/west fashion.
Lines of longitude run from pole to pole. As the convention is to view maps and world globes with the north towards the top, then the lines can be said to run vertical.
Traditionally horizontally.
The lines of longitude on a map goes from north-south
North - South or South - North depending where you are at time
The one that measures the angle from the equator and is tagged 'north' or 'south' is the latitude. The one that measures the angle from the Prime Meridian and is tagged 'east' or 'west' is the longitude.
Lines of longitude run north-south and measure east-west.
Latitude: East-west Longitude: North-south

on an atlas you'll see lines across maps,the vetical lines are the longitude (east and west).the latitude will be the horizontal lines known as north and south.....Wrong way round. Longitude is north/south and latitude is east/west.
Lines of longitude run north-south and measure east-west.
The one that measures the angle from the equator and is tagged 'north' or 'south' is the latitude. The one that measures the angle from the Prime Meridian and is tagged 'east' or 'west' is the longitude.

Latitude: East-west Longitude: North-south
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 and longitude.
lines of longitude are lines drawn north and south and measure east and west a famous line of longitude is the Prime meridian
Meridians of longitude run north and south. Parallels of latitude run east and west.
