It would depend on the specific map.
On a globe, there are an unlimited number of specific latitudes between 0 and 90 degrees north (equator to North Pole) and 0 and 90 degrees south (equator to South Pole). Longitudes range from 0 to 180 east and 0 to 180 west from the Prime Meridian, with 180 east and 180 west being the same line (on which the International Date Line is based).
The total circumference of the planet is 360 degrees, and it would appear as a circle viewed from above either of the poles. Each degree of longitude is about 111.32 kilometers wide at the equator. Degrees can be divided further into minutes and seconds, or to any accuracy of decimal degrees.

There are an infinite number of them, regardless of how many of them
may or may not be marked on different rulers, maps, and globes.
The latitudes of places on Earth are defined over a range of 180 degrees,
from -90 at the south pole to +90 at the north pole.

What are the imaginary lines on the globe and map?
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
Which map is an equal area projection where latitudes are represented by parallel lines but longitudes are represented by ellipses?
Atlas maps.
Why are latitudes concentric but longitudes meet at the poles?
Latitudes are parallel to the equator. Longitudes converge like elastics on a soccer ball.
Who drew latitudes and longitudes on the Earth?
Your mamma
What is the country in 90 to 45?
I tried. Believe me, I tried. But I finally had to give up trying to figure out whether 90 and 45 are latitudes or longitudes, and if they're latitudes, whether they're north or south latitudes, and if they're longitudes, whether they're east or west longitudes.
What are meridians of longitudes and parallels of latitudes?
Name the two meridians east of the meridian on this map.
What are the imaginary lines on the globe and map?
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
Which map is an equal area projection where latitudes are represented by parallel lines but longitudes are represented by ellipses?
Atlas maps.
What longitudes and latitudes is Afghanistan between?
to the nearest minute between longitudes 60e31 & 74e53 & between latitudes 29n22 & 38n29
Why are latitudes concentric but longitudes meet at the poles?
Latitudes are parallel to the equator. Longitudes converge like elastics on a soccer ball.
Who created the latitudes and the longitudes?
ptolemy
Why are longitudes parallel?
They aren't, latitudes are.
Which group of terms describes lines on a map?
They could be: Latitudes and longitudes, Gridlines, Isobars, isotherms, contours, National or regional boundaries.
Since Earth is a sphere maps are?
Map are projections in a systematic transformation of the latitudes and longitudes of the locations on the surface of a sphere. Map projections distort the surface in a little bi, depending on the purpose of the map.
Do you read latitudes first or longitudes first?
Latitudes, the north/south coordinates.
Who drew latitudes and longitudes on the Earth?
Your mamma
Will latitudes and longitudes vary with projection system?
No.
