What is the direction of lines of latitude?
Lines of latitude run North-South, while lines of longitude run East-West.
Does latitude go horizontal?
Latitude and Longitude lines are a grid map system too. But instead of being straight lines on a flat surface, Lat/Long lines encircle the Earth, either as horizontal circles or vertical half circles. Horizontal mapping lines on Earth are lines of latitude.
Do lines of latitude run vertically?
The horizontal lines are latitude and the vertical lines are longitude.
Does longitude go vertically?
Longitude is the measurement east or west of the prime meridian. Longitude is measured by imaginary lines that run around the Earth vertically (up and down) and meet at the North and South Poles. These lines are known as meridians.
