What is Lines that's run east and west measure how far north or south of the equator you are?

They are Lines of Latitude (sometimes known as Parallels of Latitude). The Equator (zero latitude) horizontally encircles the Earth and separates the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. Moving northwards from the Equator, the lines of Latitude increase in degrees. Moving South from the Equator, the lines of Latitude also increase in degrees the same as for the northern direction. The latitude of the North Pole is 90 degrees North, and the latitude of the South Pole is 90 degrees South.
