A rough rectangle may be drawn on a globe by drawing two lines of latitude, one just north and one just south of the equator that go halfway around the globe together, and then drawing a line of longitude around the globe, connecting their endpoints. Of course this will not produce a perfect Euclidean flat-sided rectangle because the surface is curved.

Actually, this technique will make TWO very long rectangles, each with square corners, if all three lines are extended around the globe!
