There are many lines of latitude and longitude because they allow the user to locate a specific spot easier with a set of coordinates.

How many lines of latitude are on the globe?
there are 36 lines of latitude respectively
How many lines in the parallel line in your globe?
As many as you like.
What are the lines on the globe that look like a checkerboard called?
the lines on the globe are called longitude and latitude lines the longitude lines go up and down while the latitude lines go left to right
The horizontal lines are called the lines of what?
On the globe they are called lines of LATITUDE and are parallel to the equator.
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.
Why are the imaginary lines are place on the globe?
So that we may all agree on and communicate absolute locations on the surface of the globe.
How many degrees are there in a horizontel line?
Longitudinal lines themselves are imaginary constructs, having no real width, and therefore, no angle to measure. The angle between longitudinal lines on a globe depend on how many longitudinal lines are used to encircle the globe. Assuming that all longitudinal lines are equidistant, the angle can be found by dividing 360 degrees by the number of longitudinal lines. Typically, a globe will be given 36 lines of longitude, so the angle between longitudinal lines is equal to 360 degrees divided by 36 lines, or 10 degrees.
Parts of the globe?
There are two different types of lines: lines of latitude and lines of longitude (also called meridians). The lines of latitude go around the globe horizontally. The center line is the Equator. Lines of longitude go around the globe vertically. The center one is called the Prime Meridian. These different lines together form a grid on a globe that's used to find locations of Earth's surface. The Equator and the Prime Meridian also divide the Earth into Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western hemispheres.
What are the vertical lines around our globe called?
Lines of longitude.
What globe lines that are always the same distance apart?
"Parallels" of latitude. Those are the lines that are drawn horizontal on the globe or map.
What is latuide?
the horazontal lines on a globe
In what way can the imaginary lines on the globe help?
The imaginary lines on the globe helps because it divides the Northern Hemisphere from Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, imaginary lines are helpful.
Do the lines of measure the distance north and south or east and west on the globe?
The lines of latitude on a globe measure the distance east and west.
Are the parallel lines on a globe called longitude or latitude lines?
Latitude.
Why there is an imaginary lines on globe?
Those lines are called longitude and latitude.
Lines of the globe?
East-West lines are called lines of latitude. North-South lines are called lines of longitude.
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' .
