They are also known as meridians.

They all meet at the poles, North & South.

On maps and charts they are generally shown to be 10 or 15 degrees apart.

At 10 degrees it represents approximately 700 miles at the equator, 350 miles at latitudes 60 N & S. and as mentioned above they all meet at a point at the poles.

At 15 degrees it represents 1 hour between noon on the two adjacent 15 degree longitude. So at 0(zero) longitude being noon, then 15 degrees E is 1;00 pm and 15 degrees W is 11;00 am.
