Latitude, with an A, goes across the map.
Longitude, with an O, goes over the Poles.
Latitude: East-west Longitude: North-south
Lines of latitude Have flatitude. Longitudinal lines Rise like porcupines.
Latitude lays flat and spiders have long legs
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
Lines of latitude run east and west (like rungs on a ladder) and meridians (lines of longitude) run north and south

for longitude you could say long and latitude you could say horizontal
Latitude lays flat and spiders have long legs
The direction of latitude is horizontal, while longitude is up and down. Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator.
Latitude lines are imaginary lines that run East to West but measure North to South on the Globe. I remember latitude is fatitude. Longitude lines go North to South but measure East to West. I remember it as LONGitude.
Longitude lines run north to south of the Earth. Latitude lines run east to west of the Earth. (You can remember which is which by thinking of Santa Clause: LONGatude is up and down and FATatitude is across.)
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.
lines of latitude
latitude?
Lateral direction runs from east to west and longitudinal direction runs from north to south. Latitude lines are parallel and equidistant from each other. The distance between latitude lines is approximately 69 miles. The equator is at 0 degree latitude. Longitude lines are known as meridians and converge at the poles. Longitude lines are widest at the equator.
