Firstly, different maps or atlases draw lines of latitude and longitude in varying degrees apart. Although most maps have differences of 10 degrees apart, atlases can be as close as 1 or 2 degrees.
Secondly, you might be referring to the major lines of latitude and longitude, such as the Equator and the Prime Meridian. Some maps that are very small only show the major lines of latitude and longitude. The difference between the equator and the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn is 23.5 degrees, while the difference between the equator and the Arctic and Antarctic Circles is 66.5 degrees. The difference between the Prime Meridian and the International Date Line is 180 degrees.
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
Lines of latitude and longitude allows any position on the Earth to be plotted.
longitude
Lines of latitude and longitude allow a specific point to be located any where on the world.
No , Lines of Latitude and Longitude are not rays because they do not go on infinitely (forever). They are only imaginary lines that exist on Earth.

Latitude.
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.
The 'latitude' of a location is its angle north or south of the equator. The 'longitude' of a location is its angle east or west of the Prime Meridian.
Latitude and longitude
The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.
Lines of Longitude
Longitude lines go vertically and latitude lines go horizontally.
Every parallel of latitude crosses every meridian of longitude.
Lines of latitude and longitude allows any position on the Earth to be plotted.
