They measure the location of a point north/south of the equator.
So ? Have you ever seen a police line-up on TV ? The lines on the background go left and right,
but they measure the suspect's height, right ?
The imaginary lines that run east and west are called lines of latitude or parallels. They are used to measure how far north or south a location is from the equator, which is the line of 0 degrees latitude.
Latitude lines run east-west around the Earth. They measure the distance north or south of the equator in degrees, with the equator itself being 0 degrees latitude.
Latitude: Lines the run North and South but measure east and west.
north or south. longitude is east or west.
Lines of latitude run from east to west and measure the degrees north or south of the equator.
The lines of latitude on a globe measure the distance east and west.
Lines of latitude run east-west and measure north-south.
yes
They are sometimes called "parallels of latitude", or just "latitude lines". The east-west lines on the map measure the latitude in degrees north or south of the equator.
