They were invented as a means to clearly describe locations on Earth ...
in exactly the same way that street names and house numbers do.
latitude longitudes are known as meridians
To check the the date, time, in an particular place the latitude and longitudes are used.
to locate and find the place
Latitude lines are parallel but not longitude lines.

The distance between longitudes decreases from the equator toward the poles due to the Earth's spherical shape. At the equator, the circles of latitude are widest, allowing longitudes to be spaced further apart. As you move towards the poles, these circles of latitude become smaller, causing the longitudes to converge. Consequently, the angular distance represented by each degree of longitude diminishes as one approaches the poles.
Kerala lies between north latitude 8*18' and 12*48' and east longitudes 74*52' and 77*22'.
