Well I don't know if I'm able to explain it, but I'll try.

A sphere is composed by many many circles. Try to think a circle that rotates on its axis until it creates a sphere.

Now when you see a circle frontally it looks like a...circle lol. But if the circle will rotate on its axis it will look an ellipse. That is why you see ellipses measures in degrees, the degrees show how much tilted is that circle.

See the picture. On the left you have a globe and the middle line shows the equator. Since the globe is straight in front of you the equator will look like a line. But if you look that globe from another point of view the equator will become an ellipse.


So when you'll place lines on a sphere they must follow the path of an ellipse.
