What are the lines on the globe called?
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.
In which directions does a parallel or line of latitude run?
Latitude runs East & West - horizontal lines.Remember this:Longitude is "longitude" ("long" North & South)Latitude is "flatitude"("flat" East & West)
What is a trick to help you remember in which direction latitude and longitude?
Latitude lays flat and spiders have long legs
Lines running parallel to the equator are called?
You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.
What is the name of the thin lines that run across a map?
The thin lines that run across a map are called longitude and latitude lines. Longitude lines run north to south, while latitude lines run east to west. These lines help in pinpointing specific locations on the Earth's surface.
Do latitude or longitude lines run north and south?
Longitude

How are latitude and longitude lines read?
Latitude lines go west and east of the prime meridian and longitude lines run north and south. hope that helps!
Latitude lines run in which two directions?
North and South
What is a trick to help you remember in which direction latitude and longitude?
Latitude lays flat and spiders have long legs
How can you tell the difference between latitude lines and longitude lines?
Latitude lines run parallel to the equator and measure a location's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run perpendicular to the equator and measure a location's distance east or west of the prime meridian. Latitude lines are represented by horizontal lines on maps, while longitude lines are represented by vertical lines.
What is the lines of longitude and the lines of latitude?
Longitude lines run north to south of the Earth. Latitude lines run east to west of the Earth. (You can remember which is which by thinking of Santa Clause: LONGatude is up and down and FATatitude is across.)
Lines running parallel to the equator are called?
You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.
Are latitude lines vertical or horizontal?
On a normal map or atlas they are vertical.
What are the lines on the globe that run north and south between the poles?
The lines that run north and south "or long ways" are longitude lines. East and west are latitude lines.
What is the name of the thin lines that run across a map?
The thin lines that run across a map are called longitude and latitude lines. Longitude lines run north to south, while latitude lines run east to west. These lines help in pinpointing specific locations on the Earth's surface.
