It's not necessary at all, unless you want to tell somebody exactly where
you are, or go directly to a spot that somebody sends you to.
There's no way to describe the location of a point on a surface with just
one piece of information. But with two, it can be totally nailed.
(That's why the address of a house has both a number and the name of a street.)

What if globes had only latitude lines or only longitude lines?
If globes only had latitude lines, it would be difficult to determine a location's east-west position.

Both latitude and longitude lines are necessary for accurately pinpointing a location on the Earth's surface.
How does latitude and longitude work together to pinpoint a specific location on Earth?
Latitude and longitude are coordinates used to pinpoint a specific location on Earth. Latitude measures how far north or south a location is from the equator, while longitude measures how far east or west a location is from the Prime Meridian. By using both latitude and longitude together, you can accurately determine the exact position of a place on Earth's surface.
