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
The imaginary lines that run north and south around the globe are called "meridians." They are used to measure longitude and converge at the poles. The prime meridian, which is located at 0 degrees longitude, serves as the starting point for measuring these lines.
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.

-- 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.
False. Longitude lines are imaginary lines that measure distances east and west of the Prime Meridian. The lines that measure distances north and south of the equator are called latitude lines.
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.
east and west
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.
