Isn't there a move in football called a "lateral" something or other ? Doesn't it have
something to do with moving sideways across the field, rather than up and down
the field toward the goals ? If I'm right about that, you could use it to remember that
LATitude lines go across the map, just like the LATeral pass goes across the field.
I first think of "LONGitude as being something LONG or tall (the lines running north and south, but not wide. The "wide" lines (latitude) are so wide they go around the earth, east and west.
A simple answer:
Instead of Latitude, remember it as "Ladder-tude". The steps on a ladder go across (left to right); that's why you can step on them. Lines of ladder-tude (latitude) are the lines that go from east to west. If you imagined yourself 'stepping up' on a globe, you would be stepping on the lines of latitude.
Just try to remember Latitude lines go left to right" or "Lat Left"

The thin lines that run across a map are called longitude and latitude lines. Longitude lines run north to south, while latitude lines run east to west. These lines help in pinpointing specific locations on the Earth's surface.
The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.
The latitude lines printed on a map will depend on the scale of the map. A map of the Earth will probably have latitude lines printed every 15 or 30 degrees; a map of the United States will have latitude lines printed every 5 or 10 degrees.
On a map, longitude lines go up and down, AKA vertically. Latitude lines are horizontal lines on a map.
Lines of latitude, which include -the Arctic Circle;The Tropic of Cancer;The Equator;The Tropic of Capricorn;The Antarctic Circle.The one in the middle is the equator.Latitudinal lines run from east to west.
Longitude lines go up and downLatitude lines go round and roundOr remember LADDER (Lati) -tude lines are like the rungs of a ladder that you can climb; LONG-itude lines run long-wise from North to South
longitude
Parallel lines found on a map correspond to latitude.
The lines that are perpendicular to the latitude lines on a map are called longitudinal lines. There are 24 of them, each representing 15 degrees of change.
Well, honey, those horizontal lines on a map are called latitude lines. They run parallel to the equator and help you figure out how far north or south a location is. So next time you're lost, just remember to follow those sassy latitudes!
