Dipali · Accepted Answer

Solution

Latitude
Longitude

1 It divides the Earth
horizontally into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres
It divides the Earth vertically
into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres

2 The imaginary lines of latitude
are usually known as parallels of latitude
The imaginary lines of longitude
are usually known as meridians of longitude

3 Latitudinal lines are parallel
to each other; they reduce in size as they move towards the
poles
Longitudinal lines are of the same
length; they all cut the Earth into two equal halves
