Geographers and sailors created a system of imaginary lines to locate places on the globe. One set of lines runs east and west, parallel with the equator. The other set of lines divide the earth into sections from one pole to the other. If you know which latitude line and which longitude line runs across a given place, you can find that place on a map by looking at the longitude and latitude lines on a map.
