What is a line parallel to the earths surface?
That would be latitude or longitude.
What is the latitude and longitude in degrees of?
Latitude and longitude are angles, since they represent arcs on the surface of a sphere (the Earth). Therefore they're described in units of angles.
Which states contain longitude and latitude?
Every point on the surface of the earth has latitude and longitude. If the latitude and longitude of a point are given and they're sufficiently accurate, the point can be found within less than an inch, anywhere on earth.
