Some maps and globes have 'lines' printed on them, and some don't. If there
are lines on the globe, they're a convenience to help you estimate the location
of a place you might want to find again later, by giving you a scale of numbers
to measure the spot against.
They're 'scales' for measuring, just like the marks on a ruler. But instead of making
you use a ruler and try to wrap it around the globe, they print the rulers right on
the globe for you.
