No such thing. You should not get hung up on "lines".
That's like asking "What are the 12 lines on a ruler ?", as if half-inches
and quarter-inches and tenths-of-an-inch don't exist.
Latitude is a measurement. There are millions of possible numbers.
In fact, an infinite number of possibilities.
They print a FEW on maps and globes, at convenient intervals, just like inches on a ruler.
But that DOESN'T mean that no more exist.
The seven main lines of latitude are the Equator, Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, Arctic Circle, Antarctic Circle, North Pole, and South Pole. They are used to divide the Earth into distinct climatic zones based on their distance from the equator.
