Why are lines of latitude different depending on their location?

The question is somewhat vague, but I think you may be asking: Why are different lines of latitude marked with different numbers ? I'd compare that to the question: Why are different marks on the ruler marked with different numbers ? The reason is because both of them are systems invented to help you measure things. The marks on the ruler help you estimate the length of things that you place the ruler on, by showing you where a few exact lengths are. And the horizontal lines on a map or globe help you estimate the latitude of places on the Earth, by showing you where a few exact latitudes are.

How do you find the precision on a ruler?

To find the precision on a ruler, look at the smallest division or marking on the ruler, as this indicates the precision of measurements that can be made using the ruler. For example, if the ruler is marked in millimeters and the smallest division is a millimeter, the precision is 1 millimeter.
