East to west
The imaginary line is called the Prime Meridian.
the latitude and the longitude give you the coordinates of a place to look for a place's location on a map, just get the latitude and longitude, and their intersecting point is where the place is.
north or south. longitude is east or west.
Every point on a 'line' of latitude has the same latitude, no matter what its east or west longitude may be. So you would expect any 'line' of latitude to circle the Earth at a constant distance from the equator and the poles. The 'line' itself doesn't necessarily proceed in either direction, but if you travel along a 'line' of latitude and stay on it at every step you take, then you must be traveling toward either the east or the west.
A polar projection is a map viewing either the North Pole or the South Pole from above. Each latitude line forms a circle that is centered at the pole. The latitude lines closest to the pole are the smallest, and the ones farther away are the largest.
Latitude lines go west and east of the prime meridian and longitude lines run north and south. hope that helps!
The Prime Meridian at 0 degrees longitude is the line on the map that divides east from west. Locations to the east of the Prime Meridian are considered in the Eastern Hemisphere, while locations to the west are in the Western Hemisphere.

on an atlas you'll see lines across maps,the vetical lines are the longitude (east and west).the latitude will be the horizontal lines known as north and south.....Wrong way round. Longitude is north/south and latitude is east/west.
There are two different types of lines: lines of latitude and lines of longitude (also called meridians). The lines of latitude go around the globe horizontally. The center line is the Equator. Lines of longitude go around the globe vertically. The center one is called the Prime Meridian. These different lines together form a grid on a globe that's used to find locations of Earth's surface. The Equator and the Prime Meridian also divide the Earth into Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western hemispheres.

All 'Meridians' converge at the Poles. No lines of Longitude do (they go 'around' the globe).
Longitude lines go vertically and latitude lines go horizontally.
No. Longitude is east and west of the equator. Lines of Latitude run from the north pole (prime meridian) to the south pole. Try thinking of latitude as the word "ladder" because ladders go up and down. Just a hint ;)
the lines on the globe are called longitude and latitude lines the longitude lines go up and down while the latitude lines go left to right
On a map, longitude lines go up and down, AKA vertically. Latitude lines are horizontal lines on a map.
