Lines of latitude run east and west (like rungs on a ladder) and meridians (lines of longitude) run north and south
Latitudinal lines run East West along the earth's surface. An easy trick to remember is thinking "lat is flat" therefore the lines are flat when you are looking at a globe or 2D map.Latitude lines can also be called "PARALLELS"
Every line of latitude is parallel to the equator.
All lines of latitude are parallel with the equator.
The major line of latitude that goes through Ohio is the 40th parallel north.
All parallels of latitude are parallel to the equator and to each other.

Parallel means a line of latitude. ----
A Parallel of Latitude
Parallel: 0o latitude
The major line of latitude that goes through Ohio is the 40th parallel north.
parallel
All parallels of latitude are parallel to the equator and to each other.
Latitude lines run from east to west, parallel to the equator. Longitudinal lines are perpendicular to latitude lines and run north to south.
one direction
The equator, at latitude zero.
