The lines are "imaginary", because they don't really exist in nature. We created most of those lines, mathematically, and we use these lines to help us describe where we are. We draw those lines on the maps and globes to help us describe things.
There's one of those "imaginary" lines that have some physical meaning; the equator.
for separate time zones. Like here it might be 7:00 but where you are it might be 8:00
Lines of latitude and longitude cannot be seen on Earth itself, but are created by Man on maps and globes to navigate better.
No , Lines of Latitude and Longitude are not rays because they do not go on infinitely (forever). They are only imaginary lines that exist on Earth.
The imaginary semi-circular "lines" of constant longitude are "meridians". The imaginary full-circular "lines" of constant latitude are "parallels".
A grid. One system is called longitude and latitude
coordinate grid
Most maps will show latitude and longitude lines, if not, they're ALWAYS on a globe.
Those lines are called longitude and latitude.

They r both imaginary lines
The imaginary semi-circular "lines" of constant longitude are "meridians". The imaginary full-circular "lines" of constant latitude are "parallels".
The imaginary lines that form the earths grid system are called latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines go horizontally from east to west, where longitude lines go vertical from north to south.
They are both imaginary lines which circle the earth!
Lines of latitude run east-west around the Earth and are parallel to the equator. The equator is at 0° latitude, with lines increasing to 90°N at the North Pole and 90°S at the South Pole. Lines of longitude run from the North Pole to the South Pole and are used to measure east-west distance. The Prime Meridian is at 0° longitude and runs through Greenwich, England.

Latitude lines are imaginary lines that are parallel to the equator to fix a position on earth (along with longitude lines which are imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator)
You can see latitude and longitude on maps and globes, since they are imaginary lines that cannot be seen on the surface of Earth.
