The graticule layer is a special layer type which draws a graticule over the Earth's surface. In its Properties dialog you can turn on a number of features for it to draw as well as changing the colours. Features include:

The Equator
30, 10, 5, and 1 degree lat/long lines
The tropics
The international date line
A frame round the whole world
A filled backgorund for the world

You will often use two graticule layers: one at the back with a filled frame to provide shading for the sea and one at the top to draw grid lines.
