That depends entirely on the scale of the map.

On a globe or world map, you're lucky to get labels every 15 degrees.

I'm looking at a map right now with labels every 5" (seconds), or 1/720th of a degree.

What is latitud?

Latitude is the angular degrees north or south from the equator for a location on the surface of the earth. The equator is 0°, while the north and south poles are ±90°. latitude is often depicted on globes as lines parallel to the equator, usually in increments of 10°.Or distance north or south from the equatorsatnavs use it to find out where the current location is oo a grid

Which country is near 0 degrees latitude?

What are two lines called running east and west around earth?

Are you referring to lines of latitude? First, there are no actual "lines" on the surface of the Earth; the lines are virtual, in that they don't really exist. Second, we can create as many different lines of latitude as we want. We usually measure them in segments called "minutes" of latitude, but we can subdivide these as finely as we like. From the equator, there are 90 degrees north and 90 degrees south; each degree is subdivided into 60 minutes. On a globe, the lines of latitude are generally printed each 10 or 15 degrees, but that depends on the scale of the globe.
