Lines of latitude are horizontal or vertical?
They are parallel to the earth's equator. So if you consider the equator as being horizontal then they are horizontal.
Is latitude the vertical line or horizontal?
Lines of latitude run east-west as circles parallel (or horizontal lines) to the equator. Latitude measures the angle in degrees north or south from the equator where the equator is located at 0 degrees.
What does a line of latitude mean?
The horizontal lines on a map or globe that indicate distance north or south of the Equator.
What lines measure the distance north and south of the equator?
Lines of latitude. Longitude is from Pole to Pole.
Is the Lines of latitude are the horizontal lines that measure the distance north or south from the equator?
Yes, you've got the right idea, but they're only horizontal if you're holding your map the right way.

What is the name of horizontal lines on a map?
The horizontal lines on a map are called latitude lines. They measure the distance north or south of the equator, which is at 0 degrees latitude. These lines are used in conjunction with vertical lines, known as longitude lines, to pinpoint locations on the Earth's surface.
In which directions does a parallel or line of latitude run?
Latitude runs East & West - horizontal lines.Remember this:Longitude is "longitude" ("long" North & South)Latitude is "flatitude"("flat" East & West)
What are lines used to measure distance north and south of the equator?
The lines used to measure distances north and south of the equator are latitude lines. They include the equator (0 degrees latitude) and equidistant circles between the equator and the poles. Latitude lines represent the surface points having the same angle from the equator, and planes perpendicular to the Earth's north-south axis.
What are the names of the latitude lines that circle the north and south poles?
lines of latitude
Are latitude lines vertical or horizontal?
On a normal map or atlas they are vertical.
Lines of latitude measured north and south from the what?
equator
