The network of imaginary lines formed by longitudes and latitudes is called the geographic coordinate system. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure distances north or south of the Equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure distances east or west of the Prime Meridian. Together, they create a grid that helps in pinpointing locations on Earth's surface.
