They are circles. We measure circles in degrees.
Latitude and longitude are measured in degrees, with latitude representing north-south position and longitude representing east-west position on the Earth's surface.

Latitude and longitude are angles. They're both measured in degrees and fractions of degrees.
latitude is degrees north or south of the equator and Longitude is degrees east or west of Greenwich
Degrees, minutes and seconds.
Latitude is measured as the angle between the point and the equator, ranging from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. Longitude is measured as the angle between the point and the prime meridian, ranging from 0° to 180° east or west. These measurements help pinpoint a specific location on Earth's surface.
Yes they are.
Latitude and Longitude are measured in degrees. Latitude values range from 0 degrees at the equator to 90 degrees at the poles, while Longitude values range from 0 degrees at the Prime Meridian to 180 degrees east and west.
Latitude is measured in degrees North and South from the North to South poles. Longitude is measured in degrees East and West starting with 0 at Greenwich, England.
Longitude is measured in degrees east or west of the prime meridian (0 degrees) which runs through Greenwich, England. Latitude is measured in degrees north or south of the equator (0 degrees). For example, the coordinates of Paris, France are approximately 48.8566° N latitude and 2.3522° E longitude.
The lines are never measured. They're only markers. Latitude and longitude are angles, that describe the locations of points on the surface of a sphere. They're expressed in units of angle measure, typically in decimal degrees, or degrees, minutes, and seconds.
