Question

difference between latitude and longitude...

Answer 1

Latitude- these are imaginary circles running to the equator
Longitude-a longitude is the angular distance of a place east or west of the prime meridian

Answer 2

Latitudes are horizontal lines on the globe that run west to east, whereas longitudes are vertical lines that run north to south.

Latitude lines run parallel to the equator and to each other and measure the distance north or south of the equator while Longitude lines, are neither parallel to each other nor to the Prime Meridian and measure the distance east and west of the Prime Meridian.

Values of latitude range from 0° at the equator to 90° N or 90°S at the poles while values of longitude range from zero degrees at the Prime Meridian to 180°E or 180°W.

The lines of Latitudes get shorter as we move towards the poles and latitudes become points at the poles while Longitudes, are all of equal length and converge to meet at the poles.
