lattitude. think of it as a ladder goin up and the other ones goin down are longitude and the one in the middle is the prime meridian
Longitude lines.
Latitude
Longitude measures distances east or west on a map.
Those lines are called lines of latitude. They are also known as parallels as they run parallel to the equator.
The Prime Meridian at 0 degrees longitude is the line on the map that divides east from west. Locations to the east of the Prime Meridian are considered in the Eastern Hemisphere, while locations to the west are in the Western Hemisphere.
The lines of longitude on a map goes from north-south
Either or both.
from west to east and not from north to south
The lines of latitude are lines that go east and west around the globe or map ,the equater us the line in the middle that separates north and south :)
Parallels run east-west on a map. They are lines of latitude that are parallel to the equator.
The lines on a map that show distance from the equator in an east-west direction are called latitude lines. They are also known as parallels and run parallel to the equator. The equator itself is located at 0 degrees latitude.
Those are called latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines run east-west, measuring north and south of the Equator. Longitude lines run north-south, measuring east and west of the Prime Meridian. Together, they help determine specific locations on a map.
