Lines of latitude and longitude are imaginary lines on maps of the world. Latitude is measured by degrees north or south of the equator and lines of latitude are parallel to each other.
Lines of longitude are drawn so that they cut through both north and south pole, so each is progressively closer to the next as they get closer to the poles and maximum distance apart at the equator. The line of longitude that passes through Greenwich in London (UK) is called the prime meridian and other lines of longitude are referred to it, so New York (USA) is about 74º west and Melbourne (Australia) is about 145º east.
I am not for sure. They are used to help find specific locations on the earth.
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
Lines of latitude and longitude allows any position on the Earth to be plotted.
longitude
Most maps will show latitude and longitude lines, if not, they're ALWAYS on a globe.
Lines of latitude and longitude allow a specific point to be located any where on the world.

Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.
Latitude.
The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.

Lines of Longitude
Longitude lines go vertically and latitude lines go horizontally.
Every parallel of latitude crosses every meridian of longitude.
Lines of latitude and longitude allows any position on the Earth to be plotted.
Lines of latitude and lines of longitude are equally misunderstood by substantial and virtually equal fractions of the general population.
