Latitude is a series of imaginary lines running horizontally across a map to denote position north to south. Longitude is the lines running vertically to denote east west position. Prime meridian is the line running north south, passing through Greenwich, England and is 0 degrees longitude. Equator is the same but for latitude. A grid is a series of horizontal and vertical lines arranged so you can plot position on them easily and accurately.
