You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.
lines of latitude
These lines of latitude are called parallels.
They are lines of constant latitude, all parallel to the equator.
Lines of constant latitude are parallel. No two of them meet anywhere.All lines of constant latitude cross all lines of constant longitude.
A place can be located by where the nearest lines of latitude an longitude cross.
The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.
Probably the longitude and latitude lines because they help you locate countries and cities.
Lines of latitude run parallel to the Equator (which is zero latitude).
