they 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.)
longitude
The imaginary parallel lines that run east-west are called lines of latitude. These lines measure the distance north or south of the equator and are used to establish the location of a place on the Earth's surface.
A line running north and south/ up and down is called a vertical line.
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."
longitudinal lines run north/south; Latitudinal lines run east/west
Roads that run north to south are typically referred to as "north-south roads" or "vertical roads."

longitudes or meridians
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.)
Meridians of longitude run north and south. Parallels of latitude run east and west.
longitude
The lines that run North-South on the earth and end at the two poles are called the meridians of constant Longitude.
Those are the meridians of constant longitude.
The lines that run east and west are called latitude lines. The lines that run north and south are called longitude lines. Together, they form a grid that can be used to locate any point on the Earth.
The imaginary parallel lines that run east-west are called lines of latitude. These lines measure the distance north or south of the equator and are used to establish the location of a place on the Earth's surface.
Lines that run parallel on the Earth are called latitude lines. These lines measure the distance north or south of the Equator and help to identify locations on the globe.
