Is latitude the vertical line or horizontal?
Lines of latitude run east-west as circles parallel (or horizontal lines) to the equator. Latitude measures the angle in degrees north or south from the equator where the equator is located at 0 degrees.
Is longitude horizontal?
Lines of longitude are vertical but they measure horizontal distance(In degrees,not kilometers or miles)between Greenwich Mean Time(GMT) and you so the lines are vertical,not horizontal. However,longitude measures horizontal distance,not vertical distance.
What is parallel or lines of latitude location?
They are the horizontal lines on a map.
What are the names of the latitude lines that circle the north and south poles?
lines of latitude
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 are horizontal lines on earth called?

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.
What are the lines on a globe named?
they are called lines of LONGITUDE ( the vertical or up and down lines) and LATITUDE (the horizontal or side to side lines)
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 is the set of horizontal and vertical on a map?
Those lines indicate latitude and longitude, a means of measurement.
What is the name for all the vertical and horizontal lines found on a globe?
They are lines of longitude and latitude, often just longitudes and latitudes.
What is vertical and horizontal line?
horizontal lines are lines which may be at the angle of 00,1800,3600.if vertical lines stand on horizontal lines it is in the angle of 900
Is longitude horizontal?
Lines of longitude are vertical but they measure horizontal distance(In degrees,not kilometers or miles)between Greenwich Mean Time(GMT) and you so the lines are vertical,not horizontal. However,longitude measures horizontal distance,not vertical distance.
Does longitude line run vertical?
Yes. Longitude lines on a map are vertical and latitude lines are horizontal. But it could be the other way around too. It depends on how you hold your map.
