Latitude is defined with respect to an equatorial reference plane.his plane passes through the center  of the sphere great circle representing the equator.. 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. . The +180 and -180 degree longitude meridians coincide directly opposite the prime meridian.

latitude and longitudes are imaginary
the lines parallel to the equator at 1degree interval are called as latittudes
the semi circles joining pole to pole are called longitudes
