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.
