What do lines of latitude measure?

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.
