Lattitude
The pattern of lines that circle the globe east-west are called lines of latitude, while the lines that circle the globe north-south are called lines of longitude. Together, they form a grid system that helps in locating points on the Earth's surface.
The lines on a globe that run north and south are called lines of longitude, or meridians. They measure distance east or west from the arbitrary Prime Meridian or Greenwich Meridian, established as 0° longitude.
Intersecting lines drawn on a globe are typically latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines run east-west and measure degrees north or south of the equator. Longitude lines run north-south and measure degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian. Their intersections pinpoint specific locations on Earth and are used for navigation and mapping.
Roads that run north to south are typically referred to as "north-south roads" or "vertical roads."
Meridians of longitude run north and south. Parallels of latitude run east and west.

The Equator.
Longitude.
"Lines of Latitude" and "parallels" are both used. Please note that the "lines" are imaginary; you'll never see one on the ground. Just on a map.
The key lines are latitude and longitude. These are based on specific points. The equator is the latitude around the center of the earth. Longitude is measured from the Prime Meridian, which goes through the Greenwich Observatory in England.The Tropics and the Arctic/Antarctic Circle are also key.
The lines on a globe refer to latitude and longitude lines that help locate points on Earth's surface. Latitude lines run east-west and measure a point's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run north-south and measure a point's distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. These lines intersect at specific points to create a grid system used for navigation and mapping.
Lines that run parallel on the Earth are called latitude lines. These lines measure the distance north or south of the Equator and help to identify locations on the globe.
The lines that run north and south "or long ways" are longitude lines. East and west are latitude lines.
The lines that run north and south are called meridians of longitude. (The north and south poles are the ends of every meridian, so each one only goes half-way around the globe.)
The lines on the globe are not called "latitude", any more than the marks on a thermometer are called "temperature". The lines on the globe that mark intervals of latitude are called "parallels" of latitude.
North and South.
