The lines that circle the Earth east and west are latitude lines, also called parallels. Lines of latitude include points that have the same distance from a pole, and the same angular measurement to the equator. On a map, they can be said to be "horizontal" lines, and include the equator (0° latitude), the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, and the Arctic and Antarctic Circles.
