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 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.

They aren't, latitudes are.
