Lines of latitude must be used with lines of longitude to help us find the absolute location. Lines of latitude alone cannot determine absolute location.
The lines are what determines the absolute location of a place on the map.
Yes, they help, but you need more. You also need a 'latitude' ... the distance of the location north or south of the equator.
Lines of longitude and latitude cross each other and denote the absolute location of the area crossed by the coordinates. Each area on earth has it own absolute location.
It's not the latitude that determines your season. Your location on Earth does that, and latitude (along with longitude) is an excellent way to accurately describe your location on Earth if anyone asks.

The lines are what determines the absolute location of a place on the map.
Lines of longitude and latitude provide a coordinate system that allows you to pinpoint a specific location on Earth. Longitude lines run north-south and measure east or west of the Prime Meridian, while latitude lines run east-west and measure north or south of the Equator. By using the intersection of these lines, you can determine the absolute location of a place on the Earth's surface.
It's either Latitude & Longitude or the Prime Meridian

Latitude and Longitude
Lines of longitude and latitude cross each other and denote the absolute location of the area crossed by the coordinates. Each area on earth has it own absolute location.
The features on a map help you find absolute location by finding the absolute lOcation
absolute location is how to find a location on a map using degrees and latitude/ longitude lines.
If globes only had latitude lines, it would be difficult to determine a location's east-west position. If globes only had longitude lines, it would be challenging to determine a location's north-south position. Both latitude and longitude lines are necessary for accurately pinpointing a location on the Earth's surface.
