They're labeled E (or W) to show that they're (E)ast or (W)est of the prime meridian (which is the line of longitude passing through Greenwich Observatory near London).
15 degrees East and 15 degrees West are the same distance from the prime meridian, but in opposite directions.

What do you call the vertical lines around the globe?
meridians or lines of longitude
What are the lines that intersect latitude lines on a map are lines of?

What do the A lines on the globe represent what do the B lines represent?
In order to answer that question, I'd really have to see your globe, to know what things are labeled 'A' and 'B' . You did say that they're "lines", so I could guess that they're steamship lines, lines of constant latitude or longitude, international air routes, contours of constant elevation, etc. But there's no way to know without seeing them.
Lines of latitude and lines of longitude are perpendicular to?
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.
Why are all the longitude lines labeled e?
E stands for east. Half of the longitude lines are east, the other half are w for west.
Why are all the lines of latitude labeled S and all the longitude lines labeled E on the map of Australia?
Because all of Australia is south of the equator and less than 180° east of the Prime Meridian.
What letter are meridians east of the prime meridian labeled as?
E for East longitude.
Why are all the lines of lattidude labled s and all the longitude lines labled e?
Because you're only looking at 1/4 of the globe, or at a map of only part of the Earth. Go far enough north from where you're looking, and you're sure to find latitude lines that are labeled ' N '. Go far enough either east or west from where you're looking, and you're sure to find longitude lines that are labeled ' W '.
Why are all the lines of latitude labeled S and all the longitude lines are labeled E?
They're not. If 'S' and 'E' are the only labels you see, then you're only looking at 1/4 of the earth, or less. For every south latitude, there's also a north latitude with the same number, and for every east longitude, there's also a west longitude with the same number. You should turn your globe, or turn to another page in your book of maps. A whole new 3/4 of a world awaits you.
