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.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Latitudes are horizontal lines that measure distance north or south of the equator.
