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 do lines of latitude measure What do lines of longitude measure?
The lines don't measure anything, any more than the marks on a ruler do. Latitude and longitude are angles on the Earth's surface, measured between zero- references and the location you're trying to find or describe. Some maps and globes have some latitudes and longitudes marked on them, to help you estimate the angles. Just like the marks on a ruler.
