Lines of latitude are any of the circles, called parallels, that are to the north or to the south of the equator and parallel to it. They are the lines on standard maps that go from east to west; right-left.
It is an imaginary line around the Earth parallel to the equator.

Although the date line used in practice wiggles a bit off the actual line of longitude as countries have decided which day they would like to be in.
