These invisible lines that circle the earth and are vertical or running north to south are longitude or meridian lines. These lines are also perpendicular to lines called latitudes that are parallel to the equator.
Imaginary lines that run north to south are known as lines of longitude. Longitude lines are the imaginary lines running through the Earth between the North and South Poles. They are arbitrary and used for reference so everyone can know where they are in the world. The lines running north and south are called "meridians" or "lines of longitude."
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 lines running from north to south are called longitudinal lines or meridians. These lines help to indicate a location's east-west position on the Earth's surface.
The imaginary lines running from north to south on a map are called longitude.
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.)

The pattern of lines that circle the globe east-west are called lines of latitude, while the lines that circle the globe north-south are called lines of longitude. Together, they form a grid system that helps in locating points on the Earth's surface.
The invisible lines around the earth are called lines of latitude and longitude. Lines of latitude run east-west and measure the distance north and south of the equator, while lines of longitude run north-south and measure the distance east and west of the Prime Meridian. These lines help in locating specific points on Earth's surface.
Latitude runs east to west of the earth and longitude lines rubs north to south of the earth.
The lines that run North-South on the earth and end at the two poles are called the meridians of constant Longitude.
The imaginary lines running from north to south on a map are called longitude.
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.)
All lines of longitude meet at the North and South Poles.
Longitude lines stay right where they are at ... on the surface of the Earth, joining the north and south poles.
The lines that go from north to south on a globe are called meridians or lines of longitude. They help to pinpoint a specific location's east-west position on the Earth's surface.
