∙ 11y agoThe lines don't measure anything, any more than the marks on a ruler do any
measuring for you.
Latitude is an angle on the Earth's surface. It's the angle, measured north or south,
from the equator to whatever location you want to talk about. On a map or globe,
there may be some lines printed along the way, to help estimate the angle.
