-- 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.
