Longitude lines. They are also called meridians.

Longitud is used to measure the distance of east and west from the prime meridian
The prime meridian is used as the starting point for measuring distances in degrees of longitude. Distances to the east and west of the prime meridian are expressed in degrees, with a maximum of 180 degrees in each direction. This system allows for the precise location of points on the Earth's surface in relation to the prime meridian.
east and west of the prime meridian
The measurement used to determine distances in degrees from the prime meridian is called longitude. Longitude lines run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole and are measured in degrees, with the prime meridian at 0 degrees. Distances east and west of the prime meridian are expressed in degrees up to 180 degrees in either direction.
The Prime Meridian is zero degrees longitude.
We begin to measure time at the prime meridian
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.
No, the Prime Meridian refers to longitude, not latitude. It is the line of 0 degrees longitude that divides the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. In contrast, latitude lines measure distances north or south of the Equator, which is at 0 degrees latitude.
Longitude or meridians are the distances in degrees measuring east or west of the prime meridian.
The Prime Meridian is a line of longitude (0°). It goes through every north or south measurementbetween the north pole and the south pole, and no other lines of longitude cross it.
