That's like asking: What is the interval in feet between the heights allowed for adults ?

There is no standard set of 'lines' that's allowed, and you have to choose one that's

close to what you need. Latitude and longitude are measurements of position.

Every point on earth has its own latitude and longitude. If I give you the

numbers for one point, and you go to a different point, then your point has

different latitude or longitude, or both. A good surveyor can measure the

latitude and longitude of a point with enough precision to tell it apart from a

different point that's a few millimeters away.

What's the interval in inches between the lines on a ruler ? Usually they're one inch

apart, but does that mean we're not allowed to talk about measurements of things

that don't come out to be whole inches ? Of course not. The only reason there aren't

more lines on a ruler is that it would be harder to read.

Some maps and globes are manufactured with a line printed for every 15 degrees.

Others have a line every 10 degrees. I have a set of maps with a line printed for

every 0.0083 degree, and a set of street maps on my computer that will give me

a line every 0.0013 degree if I want it.

There's no reason the publisher could not print a line every 0.1 degree on the world map,

except that the entire worls map would then be solid black and you wouldn't be able to

see the places under the lines.

The lines are only a convenience, to show you approximate intervals, and then let you

estimate other values between the lines. Just like the lines on a ruler.

How is longitude and latitude measured?

Latitude is measured as the angle between the point and the equator, ranging from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. Longitude is measured as the angle between the point and the prime meridian, ranging from 0° to 180° east or west. These measurements help pinpoint a specific location on Earth's surface.
