Lines of latitude and longitude allow a specific point to be located any where on the world.
Just look at a map of the World.
Clever. That's a lot like asking "Where in my body am I ?" Since the system of latitude and longitude is a system invented for the purpose of describing locations on the surface of the earth, and is uniquely and exhaustively appropriate to that purpose, the complete answer consists of two parts: 1). The world is located at every imaginable and every possible latitude and longitude. 2). Every latitude and longitude is a location somewhere in the world.
Longitude and latitude correspond to locations on the surface of the earth. The little dipper is in the sky. The world, itself, spins on an axis and rotates around the sun, there is no stationary latitude or longitude which corresponds to the little dipper.
The center of the geodesic golfball at Epcot Center is located at 28.3753° north latitude 81.5494° west longitude. Any other point around the park has somewhat different coordinates.

Geographically, the center of the world is located at zero degrees latitude, zero degrees longitude. Ghana is the closest country to that point.
The lines of latitude and longitude form an imaginary mesh encasing the World. Any point or country can be pinpointed by using these lines together. For instance, the coordinates of the Tower of London, England is given as Latitude 51.5081° North, Longitude 0.0759° West.

The center of the intersection of Edinboro Rd and Richmond Hill Rd, adjacent to the Latourette Park and Golf Course near the Church of St. Andrew, is located at 40.5756° north latitude 74.1479° west longitude.
Lines of latitude and longitude form an imaginary grid, allowing any point on the World to be located reasonably accurately. They are also very useful in marine navigation.
Latitude will always be north and south on a world map. Longitude will always be east and west on a map.
