Horizontal = x-axis = Longitude
Vertical = y-axis = Latitude

A:
Latitude and longitude are terms necessary to define a position on a sphere, where two angles are necessary. These terms have no relevance to a circle, which exists only in one plane.

A:
This is not an easy problem to solve as the distance between each latitude and longitude varies depending upon where on the globe you are (I'm sure some maths boffin could do it, but it is beyond me). For instance at the north and south pole one degree longitude measures no distance at all, but at the equator one degree can be several kilometers. If however your search only relates to a small are of the globe, then a you can make a reasonable approximation by using 1km = x degrees where x is the correct value where you are.
