Lines of longitude stay right there where they are at.
Each of them connects the north and south poles.
At the poles, the idea of longitude is essentially meaningless. Take a few steps either way; your longitude will depend on which way you walked. Of course, from the pole itself every direction is "South", which makes navigation a little challenging.....
Lines of latitude run round the earth parallel to the Equator. Lines of longitude run from pole to pole, crossing the Equator at 90 degrees.
Lines of Longitude are imaginary lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole. The main line of longitude, the Prime Meridian (zero longitude), passes through the Greenwich Observatory, London, England.
lines of longitude are lines drawn north and south and measure east and west a famous line of longitude is the Prime meridian
North - South or South - North depending where you are at time
North and South
Longitude lines run from pole to pole.

North - South; up and down most maps.
Longitude
vertically
Yes. Longitude lines on a map are vertical and latitude lines are horizontal. But it could be the other way around too. It depends on how you hold your map.
Lines that run up and down on a map are called "longitude lines" or "meridians." These lines help indicate the east-west position or direction of a location on the Earth's surface.
Lines of Longitude
Lines of longitude run North-South.
Lines of latitude run round the earth parallel to the Equator. Lines of longitude run from pole to pole, crossing the Equator at 90 degrees.
