Each 'parallel' of latitude is comprised of an infinite number of dots. They're located
at all the places on Earth that have the same latitude, and the line is labeled with
that latitude.
So, when you're looking at a map or a globe and trying to figure out the latitude
of a place, the line shows where one particular latitude is, and that helps you
estimate the latitude of the spot you're interested in.
The lines themselves don't measure anything.
The lines of latitude are the North and South lines on the globe. They measure the time changes there are in areas.
They measure latitude & Longitude.

The "lines" are called latitude lines.lines of latitude
lines of latitude
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines used to measure distances north and south of the Equator or 0 degrees.
LATITUDE
Latitude lines
Lines of latitude run east-west and measure north-south.
parallel lines, or lines of latitude.
Earth's parallels are called lines of latitude. They are imaginary lines that run parallel to the equator and are used to measure the distance north or south of the equator in degrees.
Lines of latitude measure the distance north and south of the equator, which is the imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude.
