What is the number of 1 degree latitude and longitude lines that can be drawn on a globe?
Oh. On second reading (and some editing of the question) I finally grasped the question. Latitude: the equator is one. Then there is one to eighty nine in the north, and again in the south. 90 degrees north and south are points, not lines. That makes 179 lines of latitude. Then you have the Prime Meridian (one); and 179 degrees east, and again west. That’s 359. Then there is 180 degrees which makes 360 lines of longitude. 179 plus 360 equals 539 lines total.
