ALL of the territory in the contiguous 48 states is located
between 24.521° and 49.384° North latitude.
Hawaii adds 18.911° to 22.235° North.
Alaska adds 51.216° to 71.389° North.
There's no telling what lines may be printed on the map or globe that you happen to be
looking at.
Don't fall into the widespread trap of thinking that there is some official set of 'lines'.
You would not ask "What two marks on the ruler is your height located between ?"
You would ask "How tall are you ?"
grid lines of longitude and latitude
Lines of latitude and longitude allow a specific point to be located any where on the world.
Most of the Caribbean islands are located within 10 degrees north latitude to the Tropic of Cancer (23.5 degrees north latitude). However, the Bahamas, which is part of the Caribbean Community, is not geographically located in the Caribbean, and thus is not taken into consideration here.
There are 2 major lines of latitude located north of the equator. The Tropic of Cancer is located at 23.5 degrees north latitude while the Arctic Circle is located at 66.5 degrees north latitude.
Lines of latitude run east-west as circles parallel (or horizontal lines) to the equator. Latitude measures the angle in degrees north or south from the equator where the equator is located at 0 degrees.
????
Lines of latitude are called parallels. The lines start at the equator and are located north and south of the equator.

the equator
fault lines
All lines of latitude are parallel to each other. The equator is the line of latitude at 0 degrees. Lines of latitude in the northern hemisphere have a positive latitude or are designated with "N" for North. Likewise, lines latitude in the southern hemisphere have a negative latitude or are designated with "S" for South.For example, the continental US (not including Hawaii and Alaska) is contained within the lines of latitude at 25 N and 50 N.
Latitude is side to side and longitude is up and down.
The Equator
Most of the Caribbean islands are located within 10 degrees north latitude to the Tropic of Cancer (23.5 degrees north latitude). However, the Bahamas, which is part of the Caribbean Community, is not geographically located in the Caribbean, and thus is not taken into consideration here.
Longitude are the vertical lines found in a map or globe while latitude are the horizontal lines.
The lines that run north and south "or long ways" are longitude lines. East and west are latitude lines.
