Longitude lines measure how far (in degrees) you are East or West of the Prime Meridian (which is a longitude line that runs through Greenwich, England and is designated as 0° longitude).
Those lines are called longitude and latitude.
Lines of longitude.
longitude and latitude we use these as coordinates to find certain places on the globe
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.
Lines of longitude.
-- Most of the imaginary lines on the surface are parallels of latitude, meridians of longitude, political boundaries, and shipping routes. -- The imaginary lines through the center of the globe are the axis and diameters.
There's no particular set or system of lines that circle the globe north and south.However, the imaginary semi-circular lines that join the north and south polesare the meridians of longitude. Each of them spans half of the globe.

The imaginary lines of longitude and latitude drawn on maps and globes of the Earth, is to aid navigation and accurately locating spots on the Earth's surface.
If you pick a longitude and mark a dot at every point on Earth with that longitude, the dots will form a line between the north and south poles. The imaginary line is called the "meridian" of that longitude.
Lines of longitude run north-south and measure east-west.
They measure east and west
