The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
The lines on the globe are not called "latitude", any more than the marks on a thermometer are called "temperature". The lines on the globe that mark intervals of latitude are called "parallels" of latitude.
Two names for the lines that run east to west on a globe are equator and latitude lines.
"Lines of Latitude" and "parallels" are both used. Please note that the "lines" are imaginary; you'll never see one on the ground. Just on a map.
-- Most of the imaginary lines on the surface are parallels of latitude, meridians of longitude, political boundaries, and shipping routes. -- The imaginary lines through the center of the globe are the axis and diameters.
On the globe they are called lines of LATITUDE and are parallel to the equator.
the lines on the globe are called longitude and latitude lines the longitude lines go up and down while the latitude lines go left to right
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.

Latitude.
Those lines are called longitude and latitude.
The lines on the globe are not called "latitude", any more than the marks on a thermometer are called "temperature". The lines on the globe that mark intervals of latitude are called "parallels" of latitude.
The pattern of lines that circle the globe east-west are called lines of latitude, while the lines that circle the globe north-south are called lines of longitude. Together, they form a grid system that helps in locating points on the Earth's surface.
Latitude
No they do not
The lines that go from north to south on a globe are called meridians or lines of longitude. They help to pinpoint a specific location's east-west position on the Earth's surface.
they are called lines of LONGITUDE ( the vertical or up and down lines) and LATITUDE (the horizontal or side to side lines)
