Where do find latitude on a map?
Not all maps show latitude and longitude. On those that do some have horizontal lines indicating where lines of latitude lie, and on the right and left margins of the map these lines will have the latitude they represent marked. Then on some maps the lines are missing but the notations in the margin show where the lined of latitude should be.
What is the interval between lines of latitude and longitude in the world atlas?
There is no official set of "lines". Some globes and maps have more lines, spaced closer together. Some globes and maps have fewer lines, spaced farther apart. Some globes and maps have no lines at all. We have no way of knowing how many latitudes and longitudes are marked on the map that you're looking at today, and the next one you see may be marked at a different interval.
What are lines on maps that indicate latitude also known as?

There are how many degrees between the lines of latitude?

What importances of latitude and longitudes?
The imaginary lines of latitude and longitude, marked on a ship's chart or map, allow any position on the world's surface to be reasonably pin-pointed. Despite modern satellite and GPS navigation devices, printed paper charts and maps are still commonly used.
Why aren't there major latitude circles as 45 degrees north or south - since those latitudes are halfway between the equator and the poles?
Some maps and globes ... such as those with a line printed every 15° of latitude ... have lines marked at 45° north and 45° south. Some maps and globes ... such as those with a line printed every 10° of latitude ... don't. Some maps and globes have no lines printed on them at all.
What is the difference between ancient and modern maps?
