Nothing can do that, because there is no official standard set of 'lines', so there's
no limit to the number of 'lines' that can be defined and printed on a map or globe.
If you look at a few different maps or globes, you'll notice that some have more
lines on them and some have fewer than others have.
The mapping software that I use can print a 'line' on the computer map every two seconds
of angle if I want to see them. That would mean 324,000 latitude lines and 648,000
longitude lines on the Earth. And that would still not be 'all' of them, because I could
zoom down and draw another line between any pair of them.
Can you tell me how many lengths there are on a ruler ? Not marks, but lengths ?
There may be only a small number of marks, but there are a lot of lengths that end
between the marks. However many different lengths there are on a ruler, there are
the same number of latitudes on Earth. And the same number of longitudes too.
Hint: It's a very big number.
A world map shows all lines of latitude and longitude. Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator and are also known as parallels, while lines of longitude converge at the poles and are known as meridians. Together, they form a grid system that helps in pinpointing any location on Earth.

What projection shows all lines of latitude and longitude as straight lines?
The Mercator projection does that.
Which type of map projection shows all latitude and longitude lines as parell?
The cylindrical map projection, such as the Mercator projection, shows all latitude and longitude lines as parallel. However, this projection distorts the size of land masses the further they are from the equator.
Which one line is parallel latitude or longitude?
All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.No meridian of longitude is parallel to any others.-- All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.-- No meridian of longitude is parallel to any other one.
Which line latitude and longitude parallel?
All lines of latitude are parallel with the equator.
Do all lines of latitude and longitude intersect at right angles?
No. All of them do but two. The latitude lines at 90 degrees North and South actually coincide with the intersection of all longitudinal lines. So technically, because they coincide, they do not form any angle.

What lies at the intersection of the longest lines of latitude and longitude?
All lines of longitude are equal. The longest line of latitude is the Equator.
What lines pass through 90 latitude?
All the lines of longitude.
Which line latitude and longitude parallel?
All lines of latitude are parallel with the equator.
Do all lines of latitude and longitude intersect at right angles?
No. All of them do but two. The latitude lines at 90 degrees North and South actually coincide with the intersection of all longitudinal lines. So technically, because they coincide, they do not form any angle.
Does the Pacific ocean pass through the longitude and latitude lines?
yes it does because on a map there are longitude and latitude lines all over the place so YES!
What is the longitude and and latitude of the tropic of cancer?
The two tropics are lines of latitude at 23°26′13.0″ North and South of the Equator and they intersect all lines of longitude.
What is the latitude and longitude of 60th parallel s?
The 60th parallel South is a line of latitude crossing all lines of longitude.
Where do lines of longitude converge (meet)?
-- All lines of longitude meet at the north and south poles. -- No two lines of latitude ever meet or cross each other. -- Every line of longitude crosses every line of latitude. -- Every line of latitude crosses every line of longitude. -- There are an infinite number of each kind, so there are an infinite number of places where a line of longitude crosses a line of latitude. (That's kind of the whole idea of the system.)
All lines of latitude meet at what line?
All lines of latitude meet at the Earth's poles, specifically the North Pole and the South Pole.
