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!

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.
In map graphs, a vertical line is typically called a "longitude" line, while a horizontal line is referred to as a "latitude" line. Longitude lines run from the North Pole to the South Pole and measure distances east and west of the Prime Meridian. Latitude lines run parallel to the Equator and measure distances north and south of it. Together, these lines create a grid that helps in pinpointing locations on the Earth's surface.

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