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.

What is the analogy for latitude horizontal and longitude?
diaginald
Lines of latitude are horizontal or vertical?
They are parallel to the earth's equator. So if you consider the equator as being horizontal then they are horizontal.
Is latitude horizonally?
Latitude measures the distance from the Equator (both north and south). So, latitude is horizontal, lonitude is vertical.
Which way is longatude and which way is latitude?
longitude is the long way...or horizontal. latitude is vertical, or up and down.
What are the names of the latitude lines that circle the north and south poles?
lines of latitude

What is a vertical and horizontal line?
A vertical line goes North And South and a horizontal line goes East And West.
What is a line perpendicular to the vertical?
A horizontal line is a line perpendicular to the vertical.
What line is perpendicular to a vertical line?
A horizontal line is perpendicular to a vertical line.
What coordinate plane is formed by the intersection of a vertical and a horizontal number line. What is the vertical number line called?
The coordinate plane is formed by the intersection of a vertical and a horizontal number line. What is the horizontal number line called?
What does horizontel mean?
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 of a line is 0 is the line horizontal or vertical?
if the slope is 0, the line is horizontal.
What do the vertical and horizontal lines in the globe indicated?
latitude and longitude
Are latitude lines vertical or horizontal?
Latitude lines are horizontal lines that run parallel to the equator on a map. They measure how far north or south a location is from the equator.
What are vertical horizontal and diagonal lines?
a...................b . . . . . c...................d a to c = vertical line a to b = horizontal line a to d = diagonal line
Does longitude line run vertical?
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 coordinate plane is formed by the intersection of a vertical and a horizontal number line What is the horizontal number line called?
In the co-ordinate plane The horizontal number line is the 'x-axis'. The vertical number line is the y-axis. They intersect at the 'origin' ; coordinate (0,0) In the 3-dimensional system there is a third number line going from front to back , this is the z-axis. All three axes intersect at the origin , and have the the coordinates ( x,y,z) = (0,0,0)
