What do lines of latitude measure?
Each 'parallel' of latitude is comprised of an infinite number of dots. They're located at all the places on Earth that have the same latitude, and the line is labeled with that latitude. So, when you're looking at a map or a globe and trying to figure out the latitude of a place, the line shows where one particular latitude is, and that helps you estimate the latitude of the spot you're interested in. The lines themselves don't measure anything.
Which parallels of latitude are drawn on the map?
The latitude lines printed on a map will depend on the scale of the map. A map of the Earth will probably have latitude lines printed every 15 or 30 degrees; a map of the United States will have latitude lines printed every 5 or 10 degrees.
What are the lines called that run around the Earth in an east-west direction?
