-- The place where a latitude intersects a longitude is a point, not a line.
-- There are an infinite number of different longitudes, and each latitude
intersects all of them.
-- There are an infinite number of different latitudes, and each longitude
intersects all of them.
-- So you can see that there are a truly huge number of intersections.
In fact, every point on Earth is an intersection of one latitude and one
longitude, and no two points on Earth are the same intersection.
On account of all that, there are no names.
