it goes up to down i think
That's going to depend on how you're holding your map or globe. -- If the north pole is at the top, then meridians to the left of the Prime Meridian mark west longitudes. -- If the south pole is at the top, then meridians to the left of the Prime one mark east longitudes. -- If the north and south poles are toward the sides of the map, then the Prime Meridian is a horizontal line between them, and there is nothing on Earth to the left or right of it.
Actually, the equator divides the Earth in North and South hemisphers. And is not a subjective "cut" of the Earth. South from the Equator, the polarity of the Earth is reversed from the northern hemisphere. (Water goes down in a sink from right to left in the north and from left to right in the south) While the prime meridian is a virtual and subjective line created just to be a time reference. But there is no "physical" difference between the East and the West. The Prime meridian could be any parallel lines linking north Pole to South pole.
Most world maps are drawn with the Prime Meridian at or near the center and the International Date Line at or near the left and/or right edge(s).
By a W for West
Longitude is up and down latitude goes left and right . Hope this helped.==============================To put a finer point on it:The answer to that question depends on how you hold your mapor mount your globe.The longitude of any place is the angle east or west between thatplace and the Prime Meridian.

The lines to the left of the prime meridian are negative.

"... the right and left lines of a globe?" I assume the reference is to the lines of longitude? The Prime Meridian is zero longitude which is a line that passed through the Greenwich observatory, London, England. To the left is west. To the right is east.

The longitude is below the equator and the latitude is to the left of the prime meridian
