Latitude, with an A, goes across the map.
Longitude, with an O, goes over the Poles.
Remember that latitude lines are like the rungs of a ladder (lateral) and therefore go horizontally, while longitude lines are like the length of a line (long) and therefore go vertical.
Latitude, with an A, goes across the map.
Longitude, with an O, goes over the Poles.
Latitude is flat (horizontal)Longitude is long (vertical)
He only sat on the Lat-itude.
Latitude: East-west Longitude: North-south
Yes, there is a poem to remember latitude and longitude lines: "Latitude runs east and west, but is measured north and south Longitude runs north and south, but is measured east and west"
Latitude lays flat and spiders have long legs
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
Lines of latitude run east and west (like rungs on a ladder) and meridians (lines of longitude) run north and south

for longitude you could say long and latitude you could say horizontal

The direction of latitude is horizontal, while longitude is up and down. Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator.
Latitude lines are imaginary lines that run East to West but measure North to South on the Globe. I remember latitude is fatitude. Longitude lines go North to South but measure East to West. I remember it as LONGitude.
Longitude lines run north to south of the Earth. Latitude lines run east to west of the Earth. (You can remember which is which by thinking of Santa Clause: LONGatude is up and down and FATatitude is across.)
on an atlas you'll see lines across maps,the vetical lines are the longitude (east and west).the latitude will be the horizontal lines known as north and south.....Wrong way round. Longitude is north/south and latitude is east/west.
The terminal line of longitude, also known as the International Date Line, is located at 180 degrees longitude. This line serves as the boundary where each new calendar day begins. It runs through the Pacific Ocean to accommodate the time differences between countries on either side of it.
