Lines of latitude run east-west and measure north-south.
Lines of latitude run parallel to the Equator (which is zero latitude).
Latitude lines run parallel to the equator.
Lines of Latitude (parallels) run from the Equator (0 latitude) to both the north and to the south, ascending. The northern most latitude is 90° North, and the southern most latitude is 90° South.
Latitude lines run from east to west, parallel to the equator. Longitudinal lines are perpendicular to latitude lines and run north to south.

Lines that run parallel to the equator are called latitude lines or parallels.
The direction of latitude is horizontal, while longitude is up and down. Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator.
Lines of latitude, or parallels, run horizontally around the Earth (east-to-west or west-to-east).
Lines of latitude run east and west (like rungs on a ladder) and meridians (lines of longitude) run north and south
Latitude lines run east-west around the Earth. They measure the distance north or south of the equator in degrees, with the equator itself being 0 degrees latitude.
