The surface of the earth is the outside of a sphere, whereas the pages of an atlas are flat.
Right there, you have the fundamental problem common to all maps ... how best to represent
a curved surface on a flat picture. The answer is: In order to select one characteristic to depict
accurately, you have to distort most everything else.

Look at a map in any atlas.
on an atlas you'll see lines across maps,the vetical lines are the longitude (east and west).the latitude will be the horizontal lines known as north and south.....Wrong way round. Longitude is north/south and latitude is east/west.
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.
Atlas Van Lines was created in 1948.
Lines that is curved. E.G the outline of a circle.
Yes. Sometimes it's good to think outside of the square. Lines of latitude on the Earth's surface are curved lines. They meet at two vertices which we call the North Pole and the South Pole. But even in Euclidean Geometry, the answer is yes. Consider a circle and a parabola. The point where they intersect is a vertex.
The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.
A Robinson Projection Map - also called an orthophanic projection in which the lines of latitude are curved. It was created by a Canadian-born cartographer named Arthur Robinson (1915 - 2004). There is also a Mollweide projection - within an ellipse in which the lines of longitude are curved. That was devised by Karl Brandan Mollweide, a German from Wolfenbuttel (1774 - 1825).

Lines of latitude run parallel to the Equator (which is zero latitude).
Not really, but if you have many lines it can look like a curved shape.
