Latitude.
It may be helpful to think of a ladder when trying to remember this, as Ladder sounds similar to latitude, and ladders have many horizontal bars.

latitude. I remember by Lat is Flat =P
The longitude lines cover the vertical side of the earth and the latitude lines cover the horizontal side. This gives you map coordination's.
Vertical first.
On a map that shows only a small part of the Earth's surface, the coordinate gridlooks like Cartesian " X and Y " coordinates. But as the map shows more and moreof the Earth, it starts to become apparent that the "lines" of latitude and longitudeactually represent polar coordinates on a sphere of constant radius.On a map that's sufficiently accurate, your first clue is this: Carefully measure thedistance between two of the 'vertical' lines, at the bottom of the map, and thenmeasure the distance between the same two lines at the top of the map. The twomeasurements are slightly different, because on a map of the full Earth, the 'vertical'lines all meet, at the north and south poles.

The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.

The imaginary lines running from north to south on a map are called longitude.
They are the horizontal lines on a map.
The longitude lines cover the vertical side of the earth and the latitude lines cover the horizontal side. This gives you map coordination's.
The line on the map is called the ratocoal.
On a map, longitude lines go up and down, AKA vertically. Latitude lines are horizontal lines on a map.
They are just figurative lines used for calculations when looking at maps they are called lines of latitude and lines of longitude they are not actually physically on the earth just theoretically there.

Vertical first.
Longitude are the vertical lines found in a map or globe while latitude are the horizontal lines.
