Well, honey, those horizontal lines on a map are called latitude lines. They run parallel to the equator and help you figure out how far north or south a location is. So next time you're lost, just remember to follow those sassy latitudes!

The horizontal lines on a map are called latitude lines. They measure the distance north or south of the equator, which is at 0 degrees latitude. These lines are used in conjunction with vertical lines, known as longitude lines, to pinpoint locations on the Earth's surface.
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.
Vertical first.
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 horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
The horizontal lines on a map are called latitude lines. They measure the distance north or south of the equator, which is at 0 degrees latitude. These lines are used in conjunction with vertical lines, known as longitude lines, to pinpoint locations on the Earth's surface.
They are called 'borders'.
They are the horizontal lines on a map.
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.
Bahahaha. They are called contour lines! That's the scientific name.
Those lines are called "borders".

On a normal map or atlas they are vertical.
The imaginary lines running from north to south on a map are called longitude.
