Horizontal (longitude) and Vertical (latitude).
Lines of constant longitude are also called "meridians".
Lines of constant latitude are also called "parallels".
parallels of latitude
parallels
They are sometimes called parallels. They are parallel to the equator, zero degrees latitude, and parallel to each other. They are all circles, except for the poles which are points.A parallel is another name for a line of latitude because all lines of latitude are parallel to each other.Graticule .parallels
The lines on the globe are not called "latitude", any more than the marks on a thermometer are called "temperature". The lines on the globe that mark intervals of latitude are called "parallels" of latitude.
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
A Parallel - because they are imaginary lines that run around the earth parallel to the equator
The other name that is used for lines latitude is parallels. The main latitude is the equator which is at zero degrees.
latitude lines is another name for parallels and longitude lines are called meridians
Meridian
Another name for "laditude" lines could be "parallels." These lines run east-west around the Earth and measure the distance in degrees from the equator.
parallels
For Maps, it is latitude and longitude.
Parallels and meridians, respectively.
