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.
