The longitude lines cover the vertical side of the earth and the latitude lines cover the horizontal side. This gives you map coordination's.

How you can find a latitude and longitude of a country?
it is easy if you can find a globe or a map of that country that numbers & shows the parallels of latitude as horizontal lines & the meridians of longitude as vertical lines most tho not all maps & globes do this so keep looking for one that does alternatively encyclopedia articles about countries usually give this information too but you may also need to read an article about how to understand & read latitude & longitude if these methods dont immediately work for you

Which direction do lines of latitude run on maps and globes?
The lines of latitude tell the angle between a place and the Equator - the imaginary line which runs east/west around the globe - at right angles to the line connecting the north and south poles. All lines of latitude are parallel to the Equator, and so they also run east/west or west/east. An easy way to remember the difference between latitude and longitude is longitude has the word long in it. they go north and south or you may say up and down and seem longer than the latitude lines which go left and right or east and west. i dont think the lines actually are longer but they appear to be. so think of it as longitude longer up and down. latitude the opposite, shorter, left and right. The lines of latitude on maps and globes 'run' in the same direction that the marks on a ruler do.

How many miles does one degree of longitude cover?
That's going to depend on how far you are north or south of the equator. The distance between any two meridians of longitude is maximum along the equator, and it shrinks to zero at the poles, where all meridians of longitude converge (come together). One degree of longitude represents about 111.2 km (69.1 miles) on the equator. Anywhere else on earth, it would be 111.2 multiplied by the cosine of your latitude.
