These lines are not actually on the planet, but are imaginary lines used to help us find our way around the curved surface of Earth
these are the imaginary lines to check the gmt and location of a place

The imaginary lines of longitude and latitude drawn on maps and globes of the Earth, is to aid navigation and accurately locating spots on the Earth's surface.
You can see latitude and longitude on maps and globes, since they are imaginary lines that cannot be seen on the surface of Earth.
No. The lines on maps are imaginary - they do not exist.
The lines are "imaginary", because they don't really exist in nature. We created most of those lines, mathematically, and we use these lines to help us describe where we are. We draw those lines on the maps and globes to help us describe things. There's one of those "imaginary" lines that have some physical meaning; the equator.
The lines of longitude are represented in green on most maps and globes.
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
Meridian lines are imaginary lines that run north-south on maps and globes, helping to determine longitude. They are crucial for navigation and geographic positioning, allowing individuals to pinpoint specific locations on Earth with precision.
Shanghai is in the northern hemisphere. The equator is an imaginary line that divides the northern and southern hemispheres on maps and globes.
It is to do with the scale used on the maps and globes.
