What is the difference between ancient and modern maps?
in these modern maps there are accurate number of lines and continents Ancient maps had no latitude or longitude lines
What are the lines on maps and globes that help us find places?
Lines of latitude and longitude help us locate places on maps and globes. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure the distance east or west of the prime meridian. By using these lines, we can pinpoint the exact coordinates of any location on Earth.

What are the lines in the ocean on Google Maps and what do they represent?
The lines in the ocean on Google Maps are called bathymetric lines. These lines represent the depth of the ocean at different points. They help users understand the underwater topography and features of the ocean floor.
Why are lines of latitude and longitude imaginary lines?
The lines are "imaginary", because they don't really exist in nature. We created most of those lines, mathematically, and we use these lines to help us describe where we are. We draw those lines on the maps and globes to help us describe things. There's one of those "imaginary" lines that have some physical meaning; the equator.
What are lines on maps that indicate latitude also known as?
These lines of latitude are called parallels.
