Lines of latitude run laterally across the earth from east to west. They measure the degrees of arc north and south of the equator which is at 0 degrees. Washington, DC, lies about 38 degrees North.
Lines of longitude are also known as meridians. They run north-south and measure east-west.
Meridians are lines of longitude. The meridian lines go from the North pole to the South pole, such that all the lines converge at a single point on each pole. These lines measure degrees east and west of the prime meridian, which is located at 0 degrees.
Lines of longitude run North to South, and are called meridians. They measure degrees East or West of the Prime Meridian. Lines of latitude run East to West, and are called latitudes. They measure degrees North or South of the Equator.
The lines on a global grid that run from pole to pole are called meridians. They are longitudinal lines that measure degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian, which is located at 0 degrees longitude. Meridians converge at the poles and are used in navigation and geographic coordinate systems to define locations on Earth.
The lines that meet at the North and South Poles are called meridians of longitude. These lines run from the North Pole to the South Pole and are used to measure how far east or west a location is from the Prime Meridian.

Longitude, and meridians.
Lines of longitude run North to South, and are called meridians. They measure degrees East or West of the Prime Meridian. Lines of latitude run East to West, and are called latitudes. They measure degrees North or South of the Equator.

longitudes or meridians
Yes ;)
Meridians join the Poles of the Earth and intersect the equator at right angles, thus the direction is North/South.
The lines that meet at the North and South Poles are called meridians of longitude. These lines run from the North Pole to the South Pole and are used to measure how far east or west a location is from the Prime Meridian.
Meridians of longitude run from pole to pole Parallels of latitude run east-west
