Imaginary lines that run north to south are known as lines of longitude.

Longitude lines are the imaginary lines running through the Earth between the North and South Poles. They are arbitrary and used for reference so everyone can know where they are in the world.

The lines running north and south are called "meridians" or "lines of longitude."
