Latitudeimaginary east-west lines in the grid
measuring the distance north and south of the equator

Equatorimaginary line that circles the globe halfway
between the North and South Poles

Degreesmeasures the distance of parallels from the equator or the
distance of meridians from the Prime Meridian.

They measure distance east and west of the prime meridian
