Latitude is a north or south measurement. If you pick onelatitude,
and draw a line on a globe that connects all the pointsat that one
latitude, you'll have an east/west line.
Height is a vertical measurement. If you pick one height, and draw
a line on the wall of your room that connects all the points at that
one height, you'll have a horizontal line.
Horizontally. Around the Earth
Lines of latitude circle the Earth in an east-west fashion. so no
North and South
Lines of latitude, or parallels, run horizontally around the Earth (east-to-west or west-to-east).
The imaginary lines that run around the earth in an east-west direction are lines of latitude or parallels.
Longitude lines run north to south of the Earth. Latitude lines run east to west of the Earth. (You can remember which is which by thinking of Santa Clause: LONGatude is up and down and FATatitude is across.)
No, latitude lines run parallel to the equator and measure distance north or south of the equator. They are horizontal on maps and globes but represent vertical north-south positions on the Earth's surface.
Latitude lines run east-west around the Earth. They measure the distance north or south of the equator in degrees, with the equator itself being 0 degrees latitude.
Latitude lines run parallel to the equator.
The invisible lines around the earth are called lines of latitude and longitude. Lines of latitude run east-west and measure the distance north and south of the equator, while lines of longitude run north-south and measure the distance east and west of the Prime Meridian. These lines help in locating specific points on Earth's surface.
Latitude lines are lines that run East/West on the earth that separate the earth into 15 degree sections.
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines that run north and south around the Earth. Meridian of longitude are imaginary lines that run east and west around the Earth. These lines work together to show locations on a map or globe.
