What are the imaginary parallel lines numbered in degrees around the north and south of the equator?

The imaginary parallel lines numbered in degrees around the north and south of the equator are called lines of latitude. The lines of latitude run east-west and are measured in degrees from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. They help in determining the location of a place on Earth's surface.

What are the imaginary lines perpenticular to the equator?

The imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator are lines of longitude, also known as meridians. These lines run from the North Pole to the South Pole and help determine a location's east-west position on the Earth's surface. The prime meridian, located at 0 degrees longitude, is the starting point for measuring longitude.
