The imaginary lines that run east to west.
Only longitutude crosses latitudinal lines (horizontal circles)
Zero degrees latitude: Equator Zero degrees longitude: Prime Meridian
No. Longitudinal lines run parallel to the Prime Meridian. Latitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator.
The imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator are lines of longitude, also known as meridians. These lines run from the North Pole to the South Pole and help determine a location's east-west position on the Earth's surface. The prime meridian, located at 0 degrees longitude, is the starting point for measuring longitude.
A hemisphere, is the splitting up of the earth on the longitudinal and latitudinal lines at 0 degree. As such there can be a northern hemisphere, and an eastern hemisphere. However, there can be no North-Eastern hemisphere as this does not follow any 0 degree lines.
Canada shares the same latitudinal lines as the United Kingdom.

Latitudinal grid lines, also known as parallels, are imaginary lines that run horizontally around the Earth, parallel to the equator. They are used to measure distances north or south of the equator, which is designated as 0 degrees latitude. These lines are measured in degrees, ranging from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. Latitudinal grid lines help in navigation, mapping, and understanding climate patterns.
Longitudinal or longitude lines are the imaginary lines that are perpendicular to the equator. Latitudinal or latitude lines are parallel to the equator.
longitudinal lines run north/south; Latitudinal lines run east/west

Latitudinal
No. Longitudinal lines run parallel to the Prime Meridian. Latitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator.
My country is England, the latitudinal extent of India is not at all advantageous to my country.
Latitudinal lines never meet as the are circumference lines. However, Longitudinal lines meet at the North & South poles. Zero Longitude goes through Greenwich which is also where Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) comes from. GMT is British winter time as opposed to British Summer Time which is GMT +1 hour.

Russia has the greatest latitudinal extent, spanning from about 41 degrees north to 81 degrees north.
