Latitudes and longitudes are commonly referred to as what in geographical terminology?
Geographical coordinates
The Earth is wrapped in an imaginary reference grid made of two sets of lines:
Because any point on the globe can be pinpointed by stating its latitude and longitude values together — a pair of angular measurements — these lines are collectively called geographical coordinates. This is exactly analogous to (x, y) coordinates locating a point on graph paper. Hence the correct answer is Geographical coordinates.
The other terms are not standard geographic vocabulary for this grid: 'geographical boundaries' refer to borders between regions, while 'planetary markers' and 'global divisions' are vague, non-technical phrases that do not describe the latitude–longitude system.
