Why are all the lines of latitude labeled S and the longitude lines labeled E?

They're not. If 'S' and 'E' are the only labels you see, then you're only looking at
1/4 of the earth, or less.
For every south latitude, there's also a north latitude with the same number, and
for every east longitude, there's also a west longitude with the same number.
You should turn your globe, or turn to another page in your book of maps. A whole
new 3/4 of a world awaits you.

∙ 13y agoIf that's what you're seeing, then you're only looking at 1/4 of the earth, at most.
The half of the earth between the equator and the south pole has all 'S' latitudes, and
the half between the equator and the north pole has all ' N ' latitudes.
With the north and south poles of the earth pointing up and down, half of the earth
on one side has all 'E' longitudes, and the half on the other side has all 'W' longitudes.
You need to turn your globe around, or flip to another page in your atlas.

∙ 11y agoThey're not. If it appears that way to you, the reason is that you've
never looked at a map of any region that's not in the Earth's southeast
quarter sphere.
There are just as many northern latitude as southern ones, and just
as many west longitudes as east ones. Look at a globe, or a wider
selection of maps, and you'll easily spot them.
