None.

Latitude lines circle the Earth east and west, and measure the angular distance from the plane of the equator. Although there are 180 degrees of latitude (90 N and 90 S), and 360 degree-intervals for longitude (180 E and 180 W), there can be an infinite number of lines depending on how precisely you want to measure.
