Lines of longitude are imaginary vertical lines that represent the angular distance, in degrees, minutes, and seconds, of a point east or west of the Prime Meridian (Greenwich). Lines of longitude are often referred to as meridians. The lines of longitude run from the North pole to the South pole and at the poles all the lines of longitude intersect at a single point.

The imaginary vertical line is called the "y-axis" in a Cartesian coordinate system. It represents the vertical dimension and is used to plot points, lines, and curves in a two-dimensional space.
