Latitude: Lines the run North and South but measure east and west.
If one of them is the "prime" meridian, what do you suppose the others might be called? If you guessed "meridians", you win.
The Prime Meridian is a line of longitude (0°). It goes through every north or south measurementbetween the north pole and the south pole, and no other lines of longitude cross it.
lines of longitude are lines drawn north and south and measure east and west a famous line of longitude is the Prime meridian
False. Longitude lines are imaginary lines that measure distances east and west of the Prime Meridian. The lines that measure distances north and south of the equator are called latitude lines.
Longitude lines run north ans south and latitude lines run west to east an easy way to remember is longitude has the word long in it ..so you know the those lines are vertical lines and that the latitude lines are the horizontal linesThe Prime Meridian is the line made out of all the points on earth that have zero longitude and every possible latitude.

east and west of the prime meridian
The Prime Meridian is a line of longitude (0°). It goes through every north or south measurementbetween the north pole and the south pole, and no other lines of longitude cross it.
The Prime Meridian is a Longitudinal line. That is, it runs North and South between the poles. Latitudinal lines run parallel to the equator and measure distance North or South of the equator. They run East and West, perpendicular to longitudinal lines. The Prime Meridian is at all latitudes.
Longitude lines. They are also called meridians.
Longitud is used to measure the distance of east and west from the prime meridian

Prime Meridian.
The lines on a globe that run north and south are called lines of longitude, or meridians. They measure distance east or west from the arbitrary Prime Meridian or Greenwich Meridian, established as 0° longitude.
Longitud is used to measure the distance of east and west from the prime meridian
Longitude measures the distance east and west of the prime meridian.
