Isn't there a move in football called a "lateral" something or other ? Doesn't it havesomething to do with moving sideways across the field, rather than up and downthe field toward the goals ? If I'm right about that, you could use it to remember thatLATitude lines go across the map, just like the LATeral pass goes across the field.I first think of "LONGitude as being something LONG or tall (the lines running north and south, but not wide. The "wide" lines (latitude) are so wide they go around the earth, east and west.A simple answer:Instead of Latitude, remember it as "Ladder-tude". The steps on a ladder go across (left to right); that's why you can step on them. Lines of ladder-tude (latitude) are the lines that go from east to west. If you imagined yourself 'stepping up' on a globe, you would be stepping on the lines of latitude.
