The imaginary parallel lines that run around the globe are the lines of latitude. They are important for locating places on the Earth's surface and are measured in degrees north or south of the equator.
-- Most of the imaginary lines on the surface are parallels of latitude, meridians of longitude, political boundaries, and shipping routes. -- The imaginary lines through the center of the globe are the axis and diameters.
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.

The imaginary lines on the globe helps because it divides the Northern Hemisphere from Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, imaginary lines are helpful.
Those lines are called longitude and latitude.
Each of those is a locus of constant latitude.
Latitude
The imaginary parallel lines that run around the globe are the lines of latitude. They are important for locating places on the Earth's surface and are measured in degrees north or south of the equator.
They are called the Arctic Circle and the Antarctic Circle.

The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
The Equator is slightly bigger then any of the other imaginary lines.
