From left to right. Like the equator
No line of latitude is a north/south line. A move to the north or south is a change of latitude.
one direction
The equator represents the zero degree line of latitude.
Lines of latitude, or parallels, run horizontally around the Earth (east-to-west or west-to-east).
If a map or a globe has latitude 'lines' printed on it, they will point east-west.
Latitude lines run from east to west, parallel to the equator. Longitudinal lines are perpendicular to latitude lines and run north to south.
Lines of latitude run east and west (like rungs on a ladder) and meridians (lines of longitude) run north and south
Well one line of latitude is called the 'equator'.
The equator divides the earth into northern and southern hemispheres. It it a line of latitude with the value of 0 degrees.
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.
If you pick any latitude on Earth, and mark a tiny dot on the map at every pointthat has that latitude, the points will seem to blend into a solid line that circlesthe Earth in the east/west direction. It's a line that has the same latitude atevery point on it.
Latitudinal lines run East West along the earth's surface. An easy trick to remember is thinking "lat is flat" therefore the lines are flat when you are looking at a globe or 2D map.Latitude lines can also be called "PARALLELS"
