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 map
or mount your globe.
The longitude of any place is the angle east or west between that
place and the Prime Meridian.
North - South or South - North depending where you are at time
It is the prime meridian.
They go up and down latitude lines go sideways
longitude is the long way...or horizontal. latitude is vertical, or up and down.
That depends on how you hold your map or mount your globe.The longitude of any place is the angle east or west between that placeand the Prime Meridian.==========================================Another opinion:The second answer is wrong enough to confuse people. Longitude is an angle.Longitude is not lines, any more than lengths are the marks on a ruler.
I believe longitude goes up and down
Lines of longitude run North-South.
Longitude is measured up & down from the Prime Greenwich Meridian (Greenwich).
Longitude lines go up and down on a map.
Latitude is sideto side;Longitude is up and down you can remember this by when you say the word latitude, your corners of your mouth go from side to side, and longitude, your lips go up and down.
Lines that run up and down on a map are called "longitude lines" or "meridians." These lines help indicate the east-west position or direction of a location on the Earth's surface.
Latitude lines run parallel to the equator and measure a location's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run perpendicular to the equator and measure a location's distance east or west of the prime meridian. Latitude lines are represented by horizontal lines on maps, while longitude lines are represented by vertical lines.
North - South or South - North depending where you are at time
north and south direction (up and down)
Latitude lines go -------- (across) And Longitude goes | | | (up & down)
North - South; up and down most maps.
It is the prime meridian.
