The northernmost point on the African continent is on the north coast of Tunisia,
near the town of Bizerte, at 37.338° north latitude.
The southernmost point is on the south coast of South Africa, at Cape Agulhas near
Capetown, at 34.829° south latitude.
That makes a total range of 72.167° of latitude on the continent.
You're free to draw as few or as many lines across that range as you'll be comfortable with.
There is no 'standard' set of lines.
latitude runs East to west. Longitude runs north to south. In other words, the lines of latitude are measured in degrees north and south of the equator and lines of longitude are measured in degrees east and west of the prime meridian.
All 50 states in the United States use some form of latitude and longitude lines to determine their borders.
All the way once around the globe is defined as 360 degrees. You're freeto draw as few or as many lines on your map as you want in that range.There is no standard set of "lines" that everybody is required to use.They're just marks that some manufacturers print on their maps and globes,and others don't.Personally, I use software that can display 648,000 lines around the globeif I want to see them. That's one roughly every 200 feet north or south, allaround the Earth. Usually, I don't need that many. And if the spot I'm lookingat falls between two of those lines, I estimate the latitude between thosetwo numbers.The latitudes of places on the Earth cover a range of 180 degrees ... from-90 at the south pole to +90 at the north pole. Again, different maps andglobes have different numbers of lines that mark some even latitude divisions.
Every line of constant latitude intersects every possible longitude, and vice-versa.
As many or as few as you want. There is no 'standard' set of "lines". If you give me two lines of latitude that are only 1 minute apart, I can draw another line between them, spaced only 1/2 minute from each of yours.
there are 36 lines of latitude respectively
Lines of latitude are all parallel to each other, and are parallel to the horizon on many printed maps.

Florida does have Longitude and Latitude lines, and while they are documented on maps of this area and in many other ways the measurements were done many many years ago.
That's like asking "How many distance marks are there painted on the groundbetween my house and the corner ?"There are 90 degrees of latitude between the south pole and the equator, andanother 90 degrees of latitude between the equator and the north pole.Total ... 180 degrees of latitude on Earth. You're free to take your map or yourglobe and draw as many lines of latitude on them as you want. Just as you'refree to draw as many length marks on your 1-foot ruler as you want. You candraw a line or a length mark at any latitude or any length where you want one.Some maps have a great many latitude lines printed on them, some maps haveonly a few latitude lines on them, and some maps have no latitude lines printedon them at all.

Every line of longitude intersects with every line of latitude and vic-versa.
latitude runs East to west. Longitude runs north to south. In other words, the lines of latitude are measured in degrees north and south of the equator and lines of longitude are measured in degrees east and west of the prime meridian.
There are many lines of latitude and longitude because they allow the user to locate a specific spot easier with a set of coordinates.
All 50 states in the United States use some form of latitude and longitude lines to determine their borders.
Every line of constant latitude intersects every possible longitude, and vice-versa.
