Vertical

Vertical means standing straight up and down, like a tree or a flagpole. If you imagine drawing a line that goes from the ground straight up to the sky, that's vertical!

Examples

• The tall building stood vertical against the blue sky, making it look very impressive from the ground.
• In gym class, we learned how to do a vertical jump to see how high we could reach.
• When we built our model rocket, we made sure it was vertical so it would fly straight up into the air.
