degrees
Lines of latitude and longitude allows any position on the Earth to be plotted.
The lines don't need to be subdivided. The units of latitude and longitude do,because the degree is a large unit on the Earth's surface. Since latitude andlongitude are angles, you need smaller angle units, to be able to indicate smallfractions of degrees.You can use degrees, minutes, and seconds, if you have an emotional need topunish yourself, or you can use the much simpler decimal degrees. It's easy toconvert the numbers from one system to the other; that's just arithmetic.
You find the lines of latitude and longitude and find the place that they intersect, which is your location.
All 50 states in the United States use some form of latitude and longitude lines to determine their borders.
You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.

i suppose they're opposites and theyre both units in measure
Latitude runs east to west of the earth and longitude lines rubs north to south of the earth.
We use latitude and longitude to precisely describe the location of places on the surface of the Earth.
The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.
Lines of latitude run parallel to the Equator (which is zero latitude).
lines of latitude
whats the principal lines of latitude
No, lines of latitude do not intersect.
