Question

explain how latitude and longitude help to locate position of a place on a globe.

Answer 1

Latitude:
The angular distance of a place north or south of the earth's equator, or of the equator of a celestial object, usually expressed in degrees and minutes.
Longitude:
The angular distance of a place east or west of the Greenwich meridian, or west of the standard meridian of a celestial object, usually expressed in degrees and minutes.
Locating a Place:
Combining latitude and longitude results in a grid that covers the globe. Every point can be defined by a north/south degree and an east/west degree. For example, Seattle, Washington, USA is at latitude 47.6° North and longitude 122.33° west. From the center of the earth, look up 46.6° from the equator and turn right (west) 122.33° from the Prime Meridian and you will be looking right at Seattle.
