Question

Define between longitude and latitude

Answer 1

hey mates,

Latitude is an angle (defined below) which ranges from 0° at the Equator to 90° (North or South) at the poles.
Longitude: it is the West/East value of a point on Earth. Longitudes are lines going from south pole to north pole. Greenwich is on longitude 0° and any point on the line going from North pole to the South pole via Greenwich is on longitude 0°.

Answer 2

Answer:

꧁LATITUDES꧂

֎The horizontal circle that goes round the earth exactly in the middle,at equal distance from the north and south poles is called as equator because it divides earth into two equal parts.This is the circle designated as 0 degree latitude.Following the way angles are designated in geometry , latitudes are expressed in degrees minutes and seconds.

֍ From the equator going towards the poles are a series of parallel circles.Each circle is called a latitude.Latitude comes from the latin word latitudo.

meaning width.

꧁LONGITUDES꧂

֎ Latin gives us word longitudo. meaning length. from which we get longitude.Longitudes are not full circles.The are semi circles connecting to pole to pole.Every longitude cut across every latitude.

֎The longitude that passes through the astronomical observatory at Greenwich,England is called the 0* meridian ,prime meridian,or green wich meridian. Green wich though it is spelled that way is pronounced GREEN-ich,with accent on GREN.
