Basically, lines of latitude and longitude are imaginary lines to help plot positions on maps and the Earth, and is an aid to navigation worldwide.
Latitudes are parallel to the equator. Longitudes converge like elastics on a soccer ball.

I tried. Believe me, I tried. But I finally had to give up trying to figure out whether 90 and 45 are latitudes or longitudes, and if they're latitudes, whether they're north or south latitudes, and if they're longitudes, whether they're east or west longitudes.
It tells people where they are in the world.

The knowledge of latitude and longitude is important for people because it helps them to understand and locates the geographical location and globe better. The use of latitudes and longitudes offer a better and quick grasp of geographical facts.It determines the time zones of the different regions of the world. With the help of longitudes and latitudes, it is easy to calculate local time and standard time. Longitudes and latitudes also help in calculating the distance from one place to another.
