difference between latitude and longitude
Answers
☆ Latitude And Longitude :-
• The geographic coordinates which ascertain the distance of a point, north-south of the equator, is called latitude. The geographic coordinate, which identifies the distance of a point, east-west of the Prime Meridian, is termed as longitude.
•The direction of latitude is east to west, which is parallel to the equator. On the contrary, the direction of longitude is north to south, intersecting the two poles.
•The range of latitudes is from 0 to 90 degrees, but the longitudes range from 0 to 180 degrees.
• The parallel circles from the equator to the north and south poles are termed as parallels of latitude. As opposed, the lines of reference, running from the two poles is known as meridians of longitude.
