GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Lines of longitude, also called meridians, are imaginary lines that divide the Earth. They run north to south from pole to pole, but they measure the distance east or west. The prime meridian, which runs through Greenwich, England, has a longitude of 0 degrees.

Detailed explanation-2: -Longitude are lines that run north-south and mark the position east-west of a point. Therefore, latitude is the angular distance east or west of the Prime Meridian.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lines of latitude, also called parallels, are imaginary lines that divide the Earth. They run east to west, but measure your distance north or south. The equator is the most well known parallel. At 0 degrees latitude, it equally divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern hemispheres.

Detailed explanation-4: -In order to locate places accurately a net work of line are drawn on the globe. The horizontal lines are the lines of latitudes are the vertical ones are and the lines of longitudes. These lines intersect each other at right angles are create a net work called a grid or graticute.
