landscape mode

Screen turned sideways

Landscape mode is an orientation where width exceeds height—the way you'd view a landscape painting.

On phones and tablets, rotating the device triggers landscape mode for videos or games that benefit from a wider view.

In printing, landscape mode positions the page horizontally: Print the spreadsheet in landscape mode so the columns fit.

The opposite is portrait mode.
