How do lines of latitude and longitude divide the world into grids?
On maps, lines of latitude divide the Earth into "rings" of mainly 18 parts with each "ring" having 10 degrees latitude. Lines of longitude then cut across the lines of latitude and thus forming grids. There are mainly 36 lines of longitude spaced at 10 degrees longitude apart. In the end, there are 648 grids on a map if split up in this way.
