The lines are "imaginary", because they don't really exist in nature. We created most of those lines, mathematically, and we use these lines to help us describe where we are. We draw those lines on the maps and globes to help us describe things.
There's one of those "imaginary" lines that have some physical meaning; the equator.
No , Lines of Latitude and Longitude are not rays because they do not go on infinitely (forever). They are only imaginary lines that exist on Earth.
coordinate grid
A grid. One system is called longitude and latitude
The imaginary semi-circular "lines" of constant longitude are "meridians". The imaginary full-circular "lines" of constant latitude are "parallels".
equator , prime merdian
Those lines are called longitude and latitude.

They r both imaginary lines
The imaginary lines that form the earths grid system are called latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines go horizontally from east to west, where longitude lines go vertical from north to south.
They are both imaginary lines which circle the earth!
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)
You can see latitude and longitude on maps and globes, since they are imaginary lines that cannot be seen on the surface of Earth.
