Answer: Preparing longitudes and latitudes took about 2000 years. . Latitude runs 0–90° north and south whereas longitude runs 0–180° east and west.
Explanation:
1. Latitude can be defined as a measurement on a world globe or a map of locations north pole or south pole of the Equator.
2. Longitude can be defined as a measurement of locations east or west of the prime meridian at Greenwich. The imaginary north pole-south pole line passes through both the geographic poles and also through Greenwich, London.
3. The combination of the meridians of the longitude and the parallels of the latitude establishes a thin framework or a grid by means of which appropriate positions can be determined or can be known in reference to the prime meridian, longitude, and the Equator, latitude.
