The lines don't measure anything, any more than the marks on a ruler do any
measuring for you.
Latitude is an angle on the Earth's surface. It's the angle, measured north or south,
from the equator to whatever location you want to talk about. On a map or globe,
there may be some lines printed along the way, to help estimate the angle.

The latitude of a point on the earth is the measurement of its angle north or south
of the equator. All of the points on earth that have the same latitude form a circle
around the globe that runs east-west.
The longitude of a point on the earth is the measurement of its angle east or west
of the Prime Meridian. All of the points on earth that have the same longitude form
a semi-circle on the globe that runs north-south, and joins the north and south
poles.
The horizontal lines of latitude run east to west as a circle round the earth.
East - West (or of course West - East depending on your point of view)
Latitude and Longitude Measure points on the earth to a exact measurement
The latitude of any point on Earth is the angle from the equator
northward or southward to that place.
Lines of latitude measure degrees (and distance) north or south from the equator.

Yes, you've got the right idea, but they're only horizontal if you're holding your map the right way.
Lines of latitude go side to side or left and right. The line that determines lines of latitude is the equator. Latitude lines are expressed as being north or south of the equator. Latitude is Lateral. The same way as the horizon: Horizontal.

The lines of latitude are the North and South lines on the globe. They measure the time changes there are in areas.
The lines of latitude go east to west (horizontal) but measure north to south. You can remember this by thinking "lat is flat"
in the way of which the degree of a line travels
They measure latitude & Longitude.
