Lines of longitude tells us where we are in relation to the Prime Meridian, either to the west or east.
For an exact position on Earth, both lines of latitude and longitude (in degrees plus minutes and seconds) are used.
Lines of latitude and longitude help us locate places on maps and globes. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure the distance east or west of the prime meridian. By using these lines, we can pinpoint the exact coordinates of any location on Earth.
(exclamatory) "If Yellowstone erupts, we could be looking at a map of the US that is mostly uninhabitable!" (imperative) "Looking at a map of the US, point out which states border the Great Lakes." (both) ""Tell my opponent he doesn't know where Florida is, even when looking at a map of the US!"
A network of lines used for locating points is called a coordinate system. Coordinate systems provide a reference framework that allows us to precisely define the position of points in space. Common examples include Cartesian coordinates (x, y), polar coordinates (r, θ), and geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude).
Honolulu, Hawaii is the only state capital in the US that is west of 150 degrees W longitude.

The lines on a map or globe that go vertically and match with the lines of latitude to tell the exact pin points of a place.
Lines of longitude tells us the degrees of the world. They are split up into the eastern and western hemispheres by the prime meridian.

it is a shape of land, represented on a map by contour lines, hypsometric tints, and relief shading.
The function of latitude is to tell us far north south the equator we are. The function of longitude is to tell us east and west of the prime meridian we are.
Latitude and longitude are angles used to describe the location of any point on Earth. They are the 'address' of the point.
Longitude and latitude are coordinates that help us pinpoint exact locations on a map. Longitude measures east-west position, while latitude measures north-south position. By using these coordinates, we can accurately locate places on a map, making it easier to find specific locations, like in a treasure hunt.
Degrees of longitude tell us how far east of west of the Prime Meridian a location is.

Not even counting Alaska or Hawaii, the US ranges between [66° 57'] and [124° 45' 30"] west longitude.Any longitude you can name within that range traverses the USA. There are millions of them.(In fact, there are an infinite number of them. For any two longitudes you name, no matter how close together they are, I can ALWAYS name a longitude that's in between your two.)One should not get hung up on 'lines'. The lines you see marked on a map or globe are not the only ones that exist. If the publisher tried to mark every possible longitude on the map, the map would be completely black.If you measure the length of a piece of string, and the end falls between two of the marks on your ruler, that doesn't mean that the length MUST be one of those marks. It means the actual length is some number that's BETWEEN the marks.Same thing on the map or globe. There is no 'set' of permitted numbers that you MUST pick from.
