Lines of latitude and longitude are imaginary lines used to locate points on the Earth's surface. Latitude lines run east-west and measure the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run north-south and measure the distance east or west of the prime meridian (which runs through Greenwich, England). Together, these lines create a grid system that allows for precise navigation and location identification on Earth.
