The point can be called anything at all ... midtown Manhattan, Everest's peak,
the south pole, or St. Peter's Basilica. A pair of coordinates can have any name
at all, because every point on earth has a set of them.
latitude and longitude
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 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.
latitude lines is another name for parallels and longitude lines are called meridians
The lines that run up and down on a map are called longitude lines, while the lines that run from side to side are called latitude lines. Longitude lines measure the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, while latitude lines measure the distance north or south of the Equator. Together, these lines form a grid system that helps in identifying specific locations on the Earth's surface.
The specific point on a map indicated by latitude and longitude is called a "geographic coordinate." These coordinates provide a precise location on the Earth's surface, where latitude specifies the north-south position and longitude specifies the east-west position. Together, they allow for accurate mapping and navigation.
A book containing longitude and latitude is called an atlas or a map book. It provides geographic coordinates that help in locating specific places on Earth.
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
A line of constant longitude is often called a "meridian". A line of constant latitude is often called a "parallel".
Latitude is often referred to as parallels, and longitude is often called meridians.

The key lines are latitude and longitude. These are based on specific points. The equator is the latitude around the center of the earth. Longitude is measured from the Prime Meridian, which goes through the Greenwich Observatory in England.The Tropics and the Arctic/Antarctic Circle are also key.
