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.

What are horizontal lines on a map technically called?
utx
What do you call the horizontal lines on the map called?
latitude. I remember by Lat is Flat =P
What do longitude lines cover that latitude lines don't?
The longitude lines cover the vertical side of the earth and the latitude lines cover the horizontal side. This gives you map coordination's.
Do you read horizontal lines on a map first or vertical when divided into squares?
Vertical first.
What type of coordinate system is represented by the vertical and horizontal lines on a map?
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.

What are the imaginary lines on the globe and map?
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
What do you call the horizontal lines on the map called?
latitude. I remember by Lat is Flat =P
What is the lines running up and down the earth called?
The imaginary lines running from north to south on a map are called longitude.
What is parallel or lines of latitude location?
They are the horizontal lines on a map.
What do longitude lines cover that latitude lines don't?
The longitude lines cover the vertical side of the earth and the latitude lines cover the horizontal side. This gives you map coordination's.
What are the imaginary lines called on a map that divide the world?
The line on the map is called the ratocoal.
What do lines of latitude and longitude mean?
On a map, longitude lines go up and down, AKA vertically. Latitude lines are horizontal lines on a map.
On a map what are the lines that run up and down?
Lines that run up and down on a map are called "longitude lines" or "meridians." These lines help indicate the east-west position or direction of a location on the Earth's surface.
Are latitude lines vertical or horizontal?
Latitude lines are horizontal lines that run parallel to the equator on a map. They measure how far north or south a location is from the equator.
Why cant we see any lines on the earth why are they mentioned on the 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.
What is the type of map uses horizontal and vertical lines to locate places?
grid,atlas
