Latitude:

  • Latitudes are the imaginary lines on the Earth.....
  • They are also called parallel lines because they never touch each other....
  • If we draw latitude at a distance of 1 degree than we have 182 latitudes in total.....
  • Latitudes are complete circles on the Earth and there length goes on decreasing as they move towards the pole.....
  • Equator is the largest latitude.....

Longitude:

  • Longitudes are drawn on Earth from north pole to south pole....
  • All longitudes are of same length....
  • They start from the same point and end at the same point...
  • They help us to know Location and time....
  • Prime meridian is marked as 0 degree...
  • They are 360 in numbers.....

Hope it helps u my friend.....
