yes it does
Measurement always deals with a distance of a line or a distance between to objects, distance between 2 points, and so on.
At the equator, one degree of longitude corresponds to about 69 miles.
parallel lines - they are parallel when the distance between them remains constant
The shortest distance between two points is always a straight line.
Latitude measures the distance from East to West. Longitude measures the distance from North to South. As for Military Grid, it shows a location/object on the map and, what Latitude and Longitude line that location/object is on.

90° west longitude
The shortest possible distance is along a meridian of constant longitude (a due north-south line).That distance is 69.1 miles (111.22 km).
A Straight Line is always the shortest distance between two points.
The distance between any two different points is always a positive quantity.
If you take a globe or a map and draw a line through all the points that haveexactly the same longitude, the line you get is the meridian of that longitude.
