Lines of latitude run east-west as circles parallel (or horizontal lines) to the equator. Latitude measures the angle in degrees north or south from the equator where the equator is located at 0 degrees.
Latitude measures the distance from the Equator (both north and south). So, latitude is horizontal, lonitude is vertical.

They are parallel to the earth's equator. So if you consider the equator as being horizontal then they are horizontal.
lines of latitude
Lines of longitude are vertical but they measure horizontal distance(In degrees,not kilometers or miles)between Greenwich Mean Time(GMT) and you so the lines are vertical,not horizontal. However,longitude measures horizontal distance,not vertical distance.
the parallel of latitude 23½ degrees south latitude marking the southern limit of Sun's vertical rays
A vertical line goes North And South and a horizontal line goes East And West.
A horizontal line is a line perpendicular to the vertical.
A horizontal line is perpendicular to a vertical line.
The coordinate plane is formed by the intersection of a vertical and a horizontal number line. What is the horizontal number line called?
Answerhaving a slope or degree of 180 (vertical has a slope of zero). in terms of direction, horizontal is the same as latitude = lognictude (vertical) is long and latiude (horizontal) lays. it is a straght line going left to right.
if the slope is 0, the line is horizontal.

Yes. Longitude lines on a map are vertical and latitude lines are horizontal. But it could be the other way around too. It depends on how you hold your map.
The symbol for a diode is a horizontal line with an arrow pointing to an intersecting vertical line, the horizontal line continues on the other side of the vertical line.
