Besides helping us to locate places on maps and charts, lines of latitudes divide the earth into distinctive heat belts on basis of temperature.
Lines of longitude and latitude
The direct line across the Earth's or any astronomical body's diameter from pole to pole is its axis. The circumferential lines imagined on the surface are the Lines of Longitude.
These lines of latitude are called parallels.
On a topographic map, elevation is represented by countour lines, which is two lines that connect without intersecting. Relief is also shown by contour lines but also with a variety of other methods, such as shades and colors.

Longitude and latitude
Isohytes are lines drawn on maps joining places of equal rainfall.
On a large scale map, they are the latitudes and longitudes. On more detailed maps they would be Eastings and Northings. On very detailed maps they could be just grid lines to help locate places.
Grid maps show locations of specific places according to numbered or lettered vertical and horizontal lines. Guide maps for cities or countries are often grid maps.Thank you
Maps are used to locate informaton places, measure distance, plane trips, find your way, provide information through lines, colours, shapes, and symbols.

in these modern maps there are accurate number of lines and continents Ancient maps had no latitude or longitude lines
Lines of latitude and longitude are only shown only maps so as to help people navigate and pinpoint places on Earth with more accuracy.
No. The lines on maps are imaginary - they do not exist.
You can tag and annotate places in Google Maps using the 'My Places' link. 'My Places' takes you to an editor where you can create new maps and drag/drop places onto the map and name them. Then you can share these maps with others or keep it to yourself.
