Lines of latitude run east-west as circles parallel (or horizontal lines) to the equator. Latitude measures the angle in degrees north or south from the equator where the equator is located at 0 degrees.
Latitude are the horizontal lines shown running East-to-West on maps.
Latitude is Horizontal, parallel to the Equator. Longitude is East/West & goes from pole to pole.
Lines of latitude are the horizontal lines.
Latitude is horizontal and it can be measured in degrees and distance from the equator.

They are parallel to the earth's equator. So if you consider the equator as being horizontal then they are horizontal.
Latitude measures the distance from the Equator (both north and south). So, latitude is horizontal, lonitude is vertical.
longitude is the long way...or horizontal. latitude is vertical, or up and down.
lines of latitude
diaginald
A vertical line goes North And South and a horizontal line goes East And West.
A horizontal line is a line perpendicular to the vertical.
A horizontal line is perpendicular to a vertical line.
The coordinate plane is formed by the intersection of a vertical and a horizontal number line. What is the horizontal number line called?
Answerhaving a slope or degree of 180 (vertical has a slope of zero). in terms of direction, horizontal is the same as latitude = lognictude (vertical) is long and latiude (horizontal) lays. it is a straght line going left to right.
if the slope is 0, the line is horizontal.
latitude and longitude
Latitude lines are horizontal lines that run parallel to the equator on a map. They measure how far north or south a location is from the equator.

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.
In the co-ordinate plane The horizontal number line is the 'x-axis'. The vertical number line is the y-axis. They intersect at the 'origin' ; coordinate (0,0) In the 3-dimensional system there is a third number line going from front to back , this is the z-axis. All three axes intersect at the origin , and have the the coordinates ( x,y,z) = (0,0,0)
