They are sometimes called "parallels of latitude", or just "latitude lines". The east-west lines on the map measure the latitude in degrees north or south of the equator.

Why does the world tip backwards and forwards?

It's not that the earth tips back and forth, but rather that its axis (the imaginary line around which it rotates) is permanently tilted with respect to the sun. The axis always points the same direction, so as the earth revolves around the sun during the year the axis is oriented towards the sun at some point in the orbit, away from the sun at others, and at intermediate orientations in between.
