Every line of constant latitude intersects
every possible longitude, and vice-versa.
Lines of Latitude encircle the Earth horizontally, and are parallel to the Equator. Lines of Latitude are intercepted by Lines of Longitude. Lines of Longitude run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole. The Prime Meridian is zero longitude and passes through the Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
Yes. The intersection of a line of longitude and a line of latitude is a point on the globe, and that point is identified by the longitude and latitude of those lines.
All the lines of longitude intersect at the earths poles and their point of intersection is the position of the pole.
All lines of latitude are parallel with the equator.
Every line of longitude intersects with every line of latitude and vic-versa.
So as to create a particular location on the grid where they intersect.

All lines of longitude are equal. The longest line of latitude is the Equator.
Lines of latitude encircle the earth, with the Great Circle being the Equator. Each line of latitude is parallel to each other, so will never intersect.
Parallel lines are two lines that will never intersect, like this.________________________________________________________
All lines of latitude are parallel with the equator.
Meridians converge at the poles and intersect the equator at 90 degrees. They are all great circle lines called lines of longitude. The equator is a line of latitude and the only line of latitude that is a great circle line. As you move away from the equator the lines of latitude describe smaller and smaller circles round the planet as you approach the poles.
First, look on the map to find the line of latitude that the coordinates reference. If the exact line of latitude isn't shown on the map, estimate it by looking at the lines that are available. Then look on the map to find the longitude line that the coordinates reference. Once you have found the two lines, follow them both towards the point where they intersect. That is the location the coordinates reference.
