Longitude is an angle that's involved in a description of a location on Earth.

It stays right where it's at and doesn't run, any more than the address of

your house runs anywhere.

If you pick one longitude and then find all the points on Earth that have that longitude,

they form a line that joins the north and south poles.

In which directions do the lines of latitude and lines of longitude -used on maps and globes-run?

Longitude are the vertical lines, like the Greenwich Meridian, and latitude are the horizontal ones, like the Equator. I remember this as the Earth is fatter around the Equator, and squashed at the Poles, so the Longitude lines go the short way, which is opposite to the way you would think! 2c9dd5a9-a7f3-4ff1-9a12-e0799b48ab5b 1.03.01 2c9dd5a9-a7f3-4ff1-9a12-e0799b48ab5b 1.03.01

Do longitude lines run from pole to pole?

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.....
