The lines on a global grid that run from pole to pole are called meridians of longitude. The prime meridian, which passes through Greenwich, London, is the most well-known and has a longitude of 0 degrees. The meridian at 180 degrees, opposite the prime meridian, is called the International Date Line.

Why is longitude east or west when it goes from north to south?
In a grid system, the lines that run "up and down" are used to measure distances "left and right". The lines of longitude run north and south from the North Pole to the South Pole, and define 360 degrees of measurement : 180° east and 180° west (the same end point).
