Longitude lines run north ans south and latitude lines run west to east an easy way to remember is longitude has the word long in it ..so you know the those lines are vertical lines and that the latitude lines are the horizontal linesThe Prime Meridian is the line made out of all the points on earth that have zero longitude and every possible latitude.


At what latitude does the prime meridian lie?
