That depends on how you hold your map or mount your globe.
The longitude of any place is the angle east or west between that place
and the Prime Meridian. A line of constant longitude connects the north
and south poles.
Longitude lines go up and down on a map.
Latitude lines go -------- (across) And Longitude goes | | | (up & down)
On a map, longitude lines go up and down, AKA vertically. Latitude lines are horizontal lines on a map.
the lines on the globe are called longitude and latitude lines the longitude lines go up and down while the latitude lines go left to right
Longitude lines are farthest apart at the equator, where the distance between them is about 69 miles (111 kilometers). As you move towards the poles, the longitude lines converge until they meet at the poles.
Lines of longitude run North-South.
Latitude go side to side and longitude do up and down
Lines that run up and down on a map are called "longitude lines" or "meridians." These lines help indicate the east-west position or direction of a location on the Earth's surface.
That depends on how you hold your map or mount your globe.The longitude of any place is the angle east or west between that placeand the Prime Meridian.==========================================Another opinion:The second answer is wrong enough to confuse people. Longitude is an angle.Longitude is not lines, any more than lengths are the marks on a ruler.
they are called lines of LONGITUDE ( the vertical or up and down lines) and LATITUDE (the horizontal or side to side lines)
it runs up and down There is a good way to remember this latitude rhymes with fatitude and you put a belt around fat (a belt goes left and right) and if you know that longitude obviously must go up and down.
North - South; up and down most maps.
