lines of lattitude extend up the y axis but are parallel to/on the x axis
a grid in a rectangular shape with a x axis and a y axis.
The lines of latitude and longitude can be thought of as a grid of horizontal and verticals over the surface of the earth. The x-axis is the longitude and the y-axis is the latitude. The center is located at (0,0) -- that's latitude 0 and longitude 0. Latitude values with positive values are found in the northern hemisphere and negative values in the southern hemisphere. Longitude values with positive values are found in the eastern hemisphere and negative values in the western hemisphere.Any point on that imaginary grid can be located using a longitude value on the x-axis and latitude on the y-axis. Increasing digits on latitude and longitude values map onto an ever smaller area. Six (6) decimal places of precision is enough to map down to a point with 10 cm accuracy.

The definition of global grid is a grid that covers the whole Earth.
A grid with a horizontal axis and a vertical axis that intersect at a point is called a Cartesian coordinate system. The axes are perpendicular to each other and therefore form four right angles at the point at which they intersect, known as the origin.
The origin is where x axis and y axis intersect.
