Latitude Horizontal lines (East-West) that measure North and South Equator- 0 Latitude, the exact middle of the Earth. The top Latitude lines are at the North and South Pole. (90N and 90S) The lines measure the distance North or South of the Equator and so are marked N or S

Longitude Circle from North to South (vertical) from the Poles Measure the distance East and West of the 0 Longitude which is the Prime Meridian
