What do lines of latitude and longitude mean?
On a map, longitude lines go up and down, AKA vertically. Latitude lines are horizontal lines on a map.
What are the lines on the globe that look like a checkerboard called?
the lines on the globe are called longitude and latitude lines the longitude lines go up and down while the latitude lines go left to right
How can you remember that lines of latitude run east and west or across the map?
Just try to remember Latitude lines go left to right" or "Lat Left"
How does lines of latitude run from east to west?
Latitude go side to side and longitude do up and down
How can you remember the latitude lines go across the map?
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.
Do horizontal lines go up and down?
Horizontal is across. Vertical is up and down.
What does the lines latitude run from?
Lines of latitude run east-west and measure the distance north or south of the equator. The equator is the starting point for measuring latitude, with 0 degrees at the equator and increasing to a maximum of 90 degrees at the poles.
What is a trick to help you remember in which direction latitude and longitude lines lie?
Latitude, with an A, goes across the map.Longitude, with an O, goes over the Poles.
What direction do lines of longitude go?
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.
What is the most important thing about longitude and latitude?
Longitude lines go vertically and latitude lines go horizontally.
What is the refernce line for latitude?
The lines of longitude run up north and south and down from the poles. Lines of latitude run parallel North and South to the equator. I remember the difference between latitude and longitude because the lines of latitude look like the rungs of a ladder (geddit) as they go around the globe. JCF
How does the latitude lines appear on a polar projection?
A polar projection is a map viewing either the North Pole or the South Pole from above. Each latitude line forms a circle that is centered at the pole. The latitude lines closest to the pole are the smallest, and the ones farther away are the largest.
