-- Each meridian ( 'line' ) of longitude represents all of the infinite number of points
on the Earth's surface that have that one specific longitude.
-- Each parallel ( 'line' ) of latitude represents all of the infinite number of points
on the Earth's surface that have that one specific latitude.
The key lines are latitude and longitude. These are based on specific points. The equator is the latitude around the center of the earth. Longitude is measured from the Prime Meridian, which goes through the Greenwich Observatory in England.The Tropics and the Arctic/Antarctic Circle are also key.
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
They represent degrees of latitude.
Lines of latitude and longitude allows any position on the Earth to be plotted.

Latitude.
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.

The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.
Lines of Longitude
They represent degrees of latitude.
Every parallel of latitude crosses every meridian of longitude.
