Answer:

1. Latitude and longitude are angles that uniquely define points on a sphere. ... Latitudes of +90 and -90 degrees correspond to the north and south geographic poles on the earth, respectively. Longitude is defined in terms of meridians, which are half-circles running from pole to pole.

2. see the pic ( not full coz pic is long )

3. Facts about Lines of Longitude--Are known as meridians. --Run in a north-south direction. --Measure distance east or west of the prime meridian. --Are farthest apart at the equator and meet at the poles.

4. A grid is an intersection that is formed by "parallels of latitude" and "meridians of longitude". It is an effective design which is generally to find a particular location of a place on the globe or map.
