Grid.
A grid. One system is called longitude and latitude
A grid. One system is called longitude and latitude
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 are : equator,antarctic circle,tropic of cancer,tropic of Capricorn and Arctic circle.
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines used to measure distances north and south of the Equator or 0 degrees.

Those imaginary lines are often called 'meridians'.
The imaginary lines on the globe helps because it divides the Northern Hemisphere from Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, imaginary lines are helpful.
Latitude lines are imaginary lines that are parallel to the equator to fix a position on earth (along with longitude lines which are imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator)
longitude lines?
Longitudinal or longitude lines are the imaginary lines that are perpendicular to the equator. Latitudinal or latitude lines are parallel to the equator.
Some are real and some are imaginary
lines of longide
No. The lines on maps are imaginary - they do not exist.
Those lines are called longitude and latitude.
