Lines of longitude run north-south and measure east-west.
All lines of longitude have the same length. Each one is 1/2 of the earth's polar circumference ... roughly 12,437.6 miles. (rounded)
The reference line of longitude is the Prime Meridian, which is designated as 0 degrees longitude. It runs from the North Pole to the South Pole and passes through Greenwich, England. Longitude is measured in degrees east or west from the Prime Meridian, extending up to 180 degrees in either direction.

Lines of longitude run North-South.
it runs up and down There is a good way to remember this latitude rhymes with fatitude and you put a belt around fat (a belt goes left and right) and if you know that longitude obviously must go up and down.

Longitude lines run from pole to pole.
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.
