Longitude is up and down latitude goes left and right . Hope this helped.
==============================
To put a finer point on it:
The answer to that question 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.
The up and down longitude line that passes through Greenwich, England is the Prime Meridian, at 0 degrees longitude. This line marks the starting point for calculating longitude around the globe, with locations to the east measured in positive degrees and locations to the west measured in negative degrees.
North - South or South - North depending where you are at time
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 placeand the Prime Meridian.==========================================Another opinion:The second answer is wrong enough to confuse people. Longitude is an angle.Longitude is not lines, any more than lengths are the marks on a ruler.
The lines going up and down on Earth are longitude lines, also known as meridians. They run from the North Pole to the South Pole and help to pinpoint a specific location by measuring the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude).
Longitude lines are farthest apart at the equator, where the distance between them is about 69 miles (111 kilometers). As you move towards the poles, the longitude lines converge until they meet at the poles.
I believe longitude goes up and down
Lines of longitude run North-South.
Longitude is measured up & down from the Prime Greenwich Meridian (Greenwich).
Longitude lines go up and down on a map.
Latitude is sideto side;Longitude is up and down you can remember this by when you say the word latitude, your corners of your mouth go from side to side, and longitude, your lips go up and down.
north and south direction (up and down)
Latitude lines go -------- (across) And Longitude goes | | | (up & down)
Lines that run up and down on a map are called "longitude lines" or "meridians." These lines help indicate the east-west position or direction of a location on the Earth's surface.
The up and down longitude line that passes through Greenwich, England is the Prime Meridian, at 0 degrees longitude. This line marks the starting point for calculating longitude around the globe, with locations to the east measured in positive degrees and locations to the west measured in negative degrees.
North - South; up and down most maps.
On a map, longitude lines go up and down, AKA vertically. Latitude lines are horizontal lines on a map.
it runs up and down There is a good way to remember this latitude rhymes with fatitude and you put a belt around fat (a belt goes left and right) and if you know that longitude obviously must go up and down.
