We were going along fine there until we got almost to the end of the question.
That's where we found that you too are one of the huge number of people who
thinks that there's a standard set of "lines".
There isn't. Some maps and globes have some lines of constant latitude and
longitude printed on them, and some don't. The ones that do may have them
printed every 45 degrees, or every 30 degrees, or every 20, 15 or 10 degrees.
It's completely up to the publisher of the globe or the map. The mapping software
that I use will print a line every 2 seconds of longitude if I want them. That would
be 648,000 lines of longitude around the world.
If the International Date Line had not been zigged and zagged to avoid splitting
states, countries, or islands into two different calendar dates, it would have
exactly followed the meridian of 180 degrees longitude ... directly opposite the
Prime Meridian and 180 degrees away from it, both east and west.

What is the meridian of longitude?
A meridian of longitude is an imaginary line made up of all the points on earth that have the same longitude, whatever that number is. If you draw any meridian of longitude on a globe, it looks like a solid half-circle between the north and south poles.
