for measuring distance
A global grid uses a system of lines of latitude and longitude which allows you to locate any place on Earth with a simple number code and a map grid uses a a system of imaginary to divide up space on a map and you could locate a place that is either in or local to what place the map is representing.
The lines on a map that form a grid system are called latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure distance north and south of the equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure distance east and west of the Prime Meridian.
The orienteering lines on a compass are used to align the compass with a map grid in order to determine direction accurately. They help orient the compass needle with the map's north-south grid lines, allowing for precise navigation.
The key parts of a topographic map include contour lines, which show elevation changes; symbols and colors to represent various features like roads, rivers, and buildings; a legend explaining the map's symbols; a scale to show distances; and a grid system for locating points on the map accurately.
Grid references are a system of locating points on a map using intersecting lines of longitude and latitude. They are formed by numbers or letters, with each line representing a different unit of measurement (meters, kilometers, etc.). Grid references help identify specific locations with precision.
longitude and latitude
Grid
a grid on a map is like a chart where one side should be numbers and the other side should be letters. like for the question what is located at g4? go to g and over four, and go to four and down four.
grid lines of longitude and latitude
The critical rule for reading a map to determine grid coordinates is to first determine the longitude (vertical lines) and then the latitude (horizontal lines) on the map that intersect at the point of interest. The grid coordinates are then expressed as a combination of the longitude and latitude lines.

The grid of vertical and horizontal lines on a map represents latitude and longitude coordinates that help in locating specific points on the map using a system of geographic coordinates. These lines intersect at regular intervals to form a grid that aids in navigation, measuring distances, and determining exact locations on Earth's surface.
There are really two answers to this: If you mean the vertical and horizontal lines, then yes, these are longitude and latitude. If however you mean the lines (particularly on older maps) that seem to run in diagonals almost like a compass...these are known as Rhumb lines and were used to help navigate between major cities or ports.
This is a "grid."
