The key lines are latitude and longitude. These are based on specific points. The equator is the latitude around the center of the earth. Longitude is measured from the Prime Meridian, which goes through the Greenwich Observatory in England.
The Tropics and the Arctic/Antarctic Circle are also key.
The lines on the globe are called latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines run east-west and measure distances north and south of the Equator. Longitude lines run north-south and measure distances east and west of the Prime Meridian.
The lines on the globe represent longitude and latitude. The ones that appear to be going from north to south of the globe are called longitude and the lines that run from east to west are latitude.
The lines on the globe going up and down signify longitude lines, which explain how far from the Prime Merridian they are. The lines on the globe going side to side are latitude lines, which explain how far fron the Equator they are.
They are called latitude and longitude line.
Lines of longitude run north-south on a map.
The lines that run north and south on a map or globe
are meridians of constant longitude.
Lines of Longitude run from pole to pole.
Lines of Latitude run parallel north and south to the Equator.
They are called longitude and latitude.
Latitude and longitude
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
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.
No they do not
they are called lines of LONGITUDE ( the vertical or up and down lines) and LATITUDE (the horizontal or side to side lines)
