In what direction do lines of latitude run? In what direction do lines of longitude run

Lines of latitude run east-west, while lines of longitude run north-south. Lines of latitude, also known as parallels, are imaginary lines that run parallel to the equator and measure the distance north or south of the equator. They are numbered from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. Lines of longitude, also known as meridians, run from the North Pole to the South Pole and measure the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. They are numbered from 0° at the Prime Meridian to 180° east and west.
