Question

10 Difference between latitudes and
longitudes ( 5 points)

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Latitude Longitude

Latitude implies the geographic coordinates that determine the distance of a point, north-south of the equator. Longitude alludes to the geographic coordinate, which identifies the distance of a point, east-west of the Prime Meridian.

It is known as parallels It is known as meridians

Latitude:

In geography, latitude is defined as the angular distance of any point, north or south of the equator, i.e. it is a coordinate system, that is used as a reference point to locate places on earth.

An equator is an imaginary circular line drawn on the earth, which divides it into two equal parts, wherein the upper half is called Northern Hemisphere, and the lower half is known as Southern Hemisphere. The circular lines, parallel to the equator, up to the North and South poles are the parallels of latitude.

Latitude ranges from 0 degrees to 90 degrees, wherein equator indicates 0° latitude and 90° is at the poles. The parallels lying in the northern hemisphere are considered as north latitudes, while those lying in the southern hemisphere are called south hemisphere. Some major parallels of latitude are:

• Tropic of Cancer (23.5° N)
• Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° S)
• Arctic Circle (66.5° N)
• Antarctic Circle (66.5° S)

Longitude:

The angular distance of any point, east or west of the Prime Meridian or west of the Standard Meridian is called longitude. It ascertains how far a particular place is, from the reference line. The reference lines passing from north pole to the south pole is known as meridians of longitude. These are semi-circles, whose distance decreases firmly polewards, as they all meet at the poles.

All the meridians are of the same length, and so Greenwich Meridian is considered as the Prime Meridian to number meridians. The value of prime meridian is 0° longitude and separate the earth into two equal parts, i.e. Eastern Hemisphere and Western Hemisphere.
