Latitude and longitude are angles that describe the location of a point on the Earth's

surface. Longitudes range from zero to 180 degrees east or west. Latitudes range from

zero to 90 degrees north or south.

There are no official 'lines'. Some maps or globes have some lines printed on them to

show where a few latitudes and longitudes are, and other maps and globes have no

lines at all printed on them. I have mapping software that can print 324,000 latitude

lines and 648,000 longitude lines if I want them, but I have never needed them yet.
