Question

Defferentiate between Eastings and northings​

Answer 1

Easting and northing are geographic Cartesian coordinates for a point. Easting is the eastward-measured distance (or the x-coordinate) and northing is the northward-measured distance (or the y-coordinate). ... Easting and northing coordinates are commonly measured in metres from the axes of some horizontal datum.

Answer 2

Eastings :-

• Lines extending from north to south on a map are called eastings.
• They indicate a distance east of the origin of the grid reference.
• Easting increases numerically eastward.
• Eastings are always given first in the grid reference.

Northings :-

• Lines extending from east to west on a map are called northimgs .
• They indicate a distance north of the origin of the grid reference.
• Northing increases numerically northward.
• The value of northing is given next to the value of easting in grid reference
