Lines of latitude are the horizontal lines on a map that stretches from the east to the west. 0 degrees latitude is the equator. A specific latitude is supposed to be combined with a specific longitude to show a precise position on Earth.
It's the Prime Meridian (Hope I spelled that right!) Hope that helped!

Lines of Latitude
The imaginary lines that run east to west.
Lines of latitude are used on a map or globe. They are the lines that run horizontally or left to right, while longitude lines run vertically or up and down.
Lines of latitude are the horizontal lines on a map that stretches from the east to the west. 0 degrees latitude is the equator. A specific latitude is supposed to be combined with a specific longitude to show a precise position on Earth.
Lines of latitude run east-west around the Earth and are parallel to the equator. The equator is at 0° latitude, with lines increasing to 90°N at the North Pole and 90°S at the South Pole. Lines of longitude run from the North Pole to the South Pole and are used to measure east-west distance. The Prime Meridian is at 0° longitude and runs through Greenwich, England.

On a normal map or atlas they are vertical.

Horizontally. Around the Earth
Latitude lines, longitude lines run north south
The imaginary lines that run around the earth in an east-west direction are lines of latitude or parallels.
