Lines of latitude
Have flatitude.
Longitudinal lines
Rise like porcupines.
Latitude lays flat and spiders have long legs
Lines of latitude must be used with lines of longitude to help us find the absolute location. Lines of latitude alone cannot determine absolute location.
equator , prime merdian
Latitude, with an A, goes across the map.Longitude, with an O, goes over the Poles.
If you used a sextant and a marine chronometer you could determine your position and plot this on a map using latitude and longitude. If you did this regularly you would be able to plot your course.
Latitude lines are imaginary lines that run East to West but measure North to South on the Globe. I remember latitude is fatitude. Longitude lines go North to South but measure East to West. I remember it as LONGitude.
Latitude, with an A, goes across the map.Longitude, with an O, goes over the Poles.

Latitude and longitude lines help geographers identify specific locations on Earth's surface. Latitude lines run east-west and measure the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run north-south and measure the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. Together, these lines create a grid system that allows for precise navigation and location identification.

latitude and longitude
Lines of latitude and longitude help us locate places on maps and globes. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure the distance east or west of the prime meridian. By using these lines, we can pinpoint the exact coordinates of any location on Earth.
Latitude, with an A, goes across the map.Longitude, with an O, goes over the Poles.
Lines of latitude and longitude are only shown only maps so as to help people navigate and pinpoint places on Earth with more accuracy.
