Going from 0 to 90 both north and south, 0, 15,30,45,60,75,90 would be 13 total. You can only count 0 once.
72 number of meridians can be drawn on the globe at 5 degree interval
On a globe, there are 18 parallels (lines of latitude) that can be drawn at 10-degree intervals from the equator at 0° up to the poles at 90° north and 90° south. For meridians (lines of longitude), there are 36 that can be drawn at 10-degree intervals, ranging from 0° to 360°. Thus, in total, there are 54 lines (18 parallels and 36 meridians) on the globe at 10-degree intervals.
If drawn on a globe at intervals of one degree, there would be 178 lines and two points.
In geography, "parallel" usually refers to lines of latitude that run parallel to the equator. These lines help in locating places on Earth's surface in relation to the equator. They are used to measure distances north or south of the equator.
The parallel circling the globe at 0 degrees latitude is called the Equator. It divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

Meridians on a globe get closer and eventually merge at the North and South Poles. On a map (a flat plane) the meridians are drawn parallel and there is distortion at the poles, most noticeable on a world map.
Looking at a sphere, the Earth, from the side, i.e. - the equator, eliminating each 'pole' position, which would appear as 'points', as opposed to 'lines', lines drawn at one degree intervals from top (North) to bottom (South), would number 178; given that there are 180 degrees from North to South.

There are 24 x 60 = 1440 minutes in one day (24 hours) Therefore there are 1440 meridians at one minute intervals.
The equator.

Meridians are not parallel. Apart from that, what is the question?
