That depends on how you hold your map or mount your globe.
The longitude of any place is the angle east or west between that place
and the Prime Meridian.
==========================================

What do latitude and longitude tell us?
The lines on a map or globe that go vertically and match with the lines of latitude to tell the exact pin points of a place.
Who far apart are the longitude lines?
They go up and down latitude lines go sideways
What is the lines running up and down the earth called?
The imaginary lines running from north to south on a map are called longitude.
Which way dose latitude go to?
Lines of latitude go side to side or left and right. The line that determines lines of latitude is the equator. Latitude lines are expressed as being north or south of the equator. Latitude is Lateral. The same way as the horizon: Horizontal.
What direction of longhitude?
If you have a map or globe with some longitude lines printed on it, you'll find that they stay where they are and do not move from day to day. Regardless of how many there may be on your particular map or globe, each of them has the same length ... about 12,500 miles ... and joins the north and south poles.
