Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
We use latitude and longitude to precisely describe the location of places on the surface of the Earth.

Lines of latitude must be used with lines of longitude to help us find the absolute location. Lines of latitude alone cannot determine absolute location.
The 'latitude' of a location is its angle north or south of the equator. The 'longitude' of a location is its angle east or west of the Prime Meridian.
Lines of longitude and latitude cross each other and denote the absolute location of the area crossed by the coordinates. Each area on earth has it own absolute location.
The pattern of lines that circle the globe east-west are called lines of latitude, while the lines that circle the globe north-south are called lines of longitude. Together, they form a grid system that helps in locating points on the Earth's surface.
