How many lines of east and west longitude make up the earth?
There are 180 degrees of east longitude and 180 degrees of west longitude, for a grand total of 360 degrees of longitude around the Earth. You're free to draw as few or as many 'lines' through that range on your map or globe as you feel will make you comfortable. There is no standard set of 'lines' that everone is required to use.

What is a geographic coordinates for longitude?
The system of latitude and longitude coordinates was invented as a means of specifying locations on the earth. Every location on the earth has a unique set of latitude and longitude coordinates, and every possible pair of latitude/longitude numbers you can name is on the earth.Perhaps the best answer to the question is: "All of them."

The 60 degrees east line of latitude runs through the Ural Mountains.
How many lines in latitude and longitude?
Latitude and longitude are angles that describe the location of a point on the Earth's surface. Longitudes range from zero to 180 degrees east or west. Latitudes range from zero to 90 degrees north or south. There are no official 'lines'. Some maps or globes have some lines printed on them to show where a few latitudes and longitudes are, and other maps and globes have no lines at all printed on them. I have mapping software that can print 324,000 latitude lines and 648,000 longitude lines if I want them, but I have never needed them yet.
