it runs up and down
There is a good way to remember this
latitude rhymes with fatitude and you put a belt around fat (a belt goes left and right)
and if you know that longitude obviously must go up and down.
Lines of longitude run North-South.
Lines of longitude run north-south and measure east-west.
Longitude lines run from pole to pole.
Lateral direction runs from east to west and longitudinal direction runs from north to south. Latitude lines are parallel and equidistant from each other. The distance between latitude lines is approximately 69 miles. The equator is at 0 degree latitude. Longitude lines are known as meridians and converge at the poles. Longitude lines are widest at the equator.

Lines of longitude are also known as meridians. They run north-south and measure east-west.
Latitude runs east to west of the earth and longitude lines rubs north to south of the earth.
Lines of Longitude are imaginary lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole. The main line of longitude, the Prime Meridian (zero longitude), passes through the Greenwich Observatory, London, England.
Lines of latitude Have flatitude. Longitudinal lines Rise like porcupines.
