Question

What is the difference in the shape of the lines of latitude and longitude !

Answer 1

latitude is an imaginary line running north to south of the equator ... latitude is defined with respect to an equatorial reference plane...latitudes are also called parallels of latitude

longitude in an imaginary line running east or west of the Greenwich meridian...longitudes are also called meridians of longitude

Answer 2

Any point on the Equator's circle is of latitude 0°, the top north is 90° North, the top south is 90° South. Circles parallels to the Equator are of the same latitude.Longitude: it is the West/East value of a point on Earth. Longitudes are lines going from south pole to north pole.
