there are ninety lines in each hemisphere
There are 90 degrees of latitude in the northern Hemisphere, and another 90 in the
southern one.
There are 180 degrees of longitude in the eastern Hemisphere, and another 180 in the
western one.
In each hemisphere, you're free to draw as few or as many lines in that range
of numbers as you want to see. There's no standard set of 'lines' that everybody
must use. Some maps and globes have more lines on them, some have fewer,
some don't have any at all.
Would you go into the hardware store and ask the man "How many lines are there
on the tape measure ?" ?
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
Lines of latitude are always the same distance from each other, as they run parallel to the equator. Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles apart. Lines of longitude converge at the poles and are farthest apart at the equator.
Lines of longitude and latitude cross each other and denote the absolute location of the area crossed by the coordinates. Each area on earth has it own absolute location.
The northern and southern Hemispheres each comprise 90 degrees of latitude. On your map or globe, you're free to draw as few or as many lines as you'd like to see in that range. There is no standard set of 'lines'.
Lines of constant latitude are all parallel to each other.

Lines of longitude, called meridians, run perpendicular to lines of latitude, and all pass through both poles. Each longitude line is part of a great circle. There is no obvious 0-degree point for longitude, as there is for latitude. If any line is north or south it has to be latitude, because longitude goes all the way around the earth, from pole to pole.
Each line of latitude (the ones parallel to the Equator) crosses each line of longitude (the north - south lines).
Latitude lines are parallel straight lines that run east-west, while longitude lines are not parallel to each other and appear curved when projected onto a map. Longitude lines converge at the poles and are widest at the equator.
No, this statement is false. Meridians are lines of longitude that converge at the poles, meaning they touch at the poles. Lines of latitude, however, like the equator, never intersect and are always parallel to each other.
Lines of Latitude encircle the Earth horizontally, and are parallel to the Equator. Lines of Latitude are intercepted by Lines of Longitude. Lines of Longitude run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole. The Prime Meridian is zero longitude and passes through the Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.
Meridians of constant longitude cross parallels of constant latitude. Parallels of constant latitude cross meridians of constant longitude. At each intersection of a meridian and a parallel, the lines are perpendicular (form 90° angles).
