Latitude is measured north and south of the equator.
line of longitude. Or a longitudinal line.
Any line that joins the north and south poles has the same longitude at every point on it. It's called the 'meridian' of that longitude.
The imaginary line at zero degrees longitude is the Prime Meridian. The imaginary line halfway between the poles is the Equator. The Equator is zero degrees latitude.
The imaginary line that runs north and south from the North Pole to the South Pole at 0 degrees longitude is called the Prime Meridian.
If you pick a longitude and mark a dot at every point on Earth with that longitude, the dots will form a line between the north and south poles. The imaginary line is called the "meridian" of that longitude.
The main North/South line of longitude is the Prime Meridian.

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.)
Every point on a meridian has the same longitude.
The International Date Line
The imaginary lines that run from north to south are called lines of longitude. The most significant one is the international date line, which divides the extreme east from the extreme west.
