Long Island (New York) occupies the range of latitude between about
40.54° and 41.16° north. You can draw as few or as many lines through
that interval as you want. There is no "standard" set of lines. Some maps
have more, some maps have less, and some maps have no lines at all.
They're just like rulers.
Lines of latitude horizontally circle the Earth.
Latitude lays flat and spiders have long legs
It does not matter whether you look at the lines of latitude or longitude first. Usually coordinates are written latitude, then longitude. Good luck!
The lines of latitude tell the angle between a place and the Equator - the imaginary line which runs east/west around the globe - at right angles to the line connecting the north and south poles. All lines of latitude are parallel to the Equator, and so they also run east/west or west/east. An easy way to remember the difference between latitude and longitude is longitude has the word long in it. they go north and south or you may say up and down and seem longer than the latitude lines which go left and right or east and west. i dont think the lines actually are longer but they appear to be. so think of it as longitude longer up and down. latitude the opposite, shorter, left and right. The lines of latitude on maps and globes 'run' in the same direction that the marks on a ruler do.
Long Island lies between 71.856172 and 74.043238 degrees West longitude.
The lines that run north and south "or long ways" are longitude lines. East and west are latitude lines.

for longitude you could say long and latitude you could say horizontal
Lat rhymes with fat. Lines of latitude go around the world like belts, and locate positions to the north and south.Longitude lines are long. Unlike latitude lines longitude lines are all the same length as they run from pole to pole. The locate positions to the east and west.
The difference in latitude between the equator and the south pole is 90 degrees. You can mark it off any way you like. Everyone seems to be hung up on "lines", but there's no fixed number. It's like asking "How many marks are there on a mile-long tape-measure ?"
Latitude in my mind is fatitude because it goes side to side, and longitude is long so it goes up and down on a map.

Latitude runs East & West - horizontal lines.Remember this:Longitude is "longitude" ("long" North & South)Latitude is "flatitude"("flat" East & West)
No, the only part of the earth's surface where it's possible for the sun to be directly overhead sometimes is between the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° north latitude) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° south latitude).
