Looking at a sphere, the Earth, from the side, i.e. - the equator, eliminating each 'pole' position, which would appear as 'points', as opposed to 'lines', lines drawn at one degree intervals from top (North) to bottom (South), would number 178; given that there are 180 degrees from North to South.

What is the number of 1 degree latitude and longitude lines that can be drawn on a globe?
90 degrees north latitude and 90 degrees south latitude are the maximum values; they represent the exact locations of the pole. Zero degrees is the equator. 180 degrees longitude is the exact limit of longitude; it represents the originally defined location of the International Date Line, exactly opposite the Prime Meridian. Oh. On second reading (and some editing of the question) I finally grasped the question. Latitude: the equator is one. Then there is one to eighty nine in the north, and again in the south. 90 degrees north and south are points, not lines. That makes 179 lines of latitude. Then you have the Prime Meridian (one); and 179 degrees east, and again west. That's 359. Then there is 180 degrees which makes 360 lines of longitude. 179 plus 360 equals 539 lines total.
Why does horizontal scale of a mercator projection increase with latitude?
The vertical (or latitude) scale increases with latitude, keeping the hoizontal (longitude) constant. This is in order to make the lines of longitude parallel on the chart, instead of, in reality, converging toward the poles. This allows courses to be plotted and drawn on the chart, as straight lines crossing the lines of longitude at the same angle. Known as 'plane sailing'. ie. it is on a plane (flat surface) not a globe.
What line of latitude passes through Louisiana?
Any/All of them between roughly 29.91°N to 30.17°N do. Any number of 'lines'may be drawn through New Orleans, at any latitude within that range. There isno standard set of 'lines' that everyone must refer to.

What is drawn on the 180degrees longitude line?
The International Date Line corresponds closely, but not exactly, to the 180 degree line of longitude.
How many meridians can be drawn on the globe at 5 degree interval?
72 number of meridians can be drawn on the globe at 5 degree interval
What is the lines that drawn in the norht-south directions?
longitude
How do you determine the number of segments that can be drawn connecting each pair of points?
If there are n points then the maximum number of lines possible is n*(n-1)/2 and that maximum is attained of no three points are collinear.
What are lines of longitude and which ways do they run?
lines of longitude are lines drawn north and south and measure east and west a famous line of longitude is the Prime meridian
What is the maximum current that can be drawn from a voltage source?
The maximum current that can be drawn from a voltage source is dependent on the impedance of that source, the impedance of the connections to the source, and the energy available from that source.
Meridians are lines of?
Meridians are lines of longitude that are drawn from the North to South poles.
How many lines of latitude are there when drawn at interval of 1 degree each?
If drawn on a globe at intervals of one degree, there would be 178 lines and two points.

Why is 180 degree longitude zig zag?
"180 degree longitude" is not zig-zag. It's the same shape as any other meridian of longitude ... a smooth, continuous, 'straight' line on the Earth's surface that joins the north and south poles. However, the International Date Line ... which is 'nominally' the same as the 180 meridian ... is zig-zagged. That was done in order to avoid splitting any single island, state, or country into two different calendar dates. One of the places that would have had two different dates if the IDL had been drawn straight is the state of Alaska.
How many parallells can be drawn on the globe at 10 degree interval?
20
What is the approximated degree of longitude for the international date line?
The International Date Line is nominally the line of 180 degrees longitude, both east and west ... exactly opposite the Prime Meridian and half-the-earth away from it. The Line was drawn with some jogs and zig-zags in it for political reasons, mainly to avoid having it split island nations or contiguous areas of national interest.
