What is latitude?

Latitude is a measurement of a location's distance north or south of the equator, expressed in angular degrees ranging from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. It helps in defining a specific point on Earth's surface and is essential for navigation and mapping purposes.

How is latitude measured?

Latitude is measured in degrees north or south of the equator, which is designated as 0 degrees. North and south poles are at 90 degrees north and south respectively. Latitude lines run parallel to the equator, and are measured from 0 to 90 degrees north or south, indicating a location's distance from the equator.

What does the latitude coordinate indicate?

The latitude coordinate indicates the distance north or south of the equator a location is. It is measured in degrees and ranges from 0° at the equator to 90° at the North and South poles.

What is longitude?

Longitude is the angular distance east or west of the prime meridian, which is the imaginary line that passes through the North and South Poles and runs through Greenwich, England. It is used to pinpoint a specific location on Earth by measuring how many degrees a place is situated from the prime meridian.

How is longitude measured?

Longitude is measured by the angular distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, which is the imaginary line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole through Greenwich, England. It is measured in degrees, with a full circle being 360 degrees, and each degree being divided into 60 minutes and each minute into 60 seconds.

What does the longitude coordinate indicate?

The longitude coordinate indicates the east-west position of a point on the Earth's surface, measured in degrees, with the Prime Meridian serving as the reference point at 0 degrees longitude. Positive values represent points to the east of the Prime Meridian, while negative values represent points to the west. This coordinate helps pinpoint a specific location globally along with the latitude coordinate, which indicates the north-south position.

What are the lines of latitude called?

The lines of latitude are called parallels.

What are the lines of longitude called?

The lines of longitude are called meridians.

What is the latitude and longitude of the Equator?

The Equator is located at 0 degrees latitude and 0 degrees longitude.

What is the latitude and longitude of the Prime Meridian?

The Prime Meridian, located in Greenwich, London, has a latitude of 51.4826° N and a longitude of 0.0077° W.
