Question

How are latitudes and longitudes useful to us?

Answer 1

Hii friend


First I will tell u what r latitudes and longitudes.


Just like our houses have addresses that make it easy for us to locate them, geographers have designed imaginary lines that rum horizontal and vertical and make it easy to locate places on the earth. These lines are known as the latitudes and the longitudes.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ LATITUDES ⭐️⭐️⭐️

The lines of latitudes are imaginary lines that are drawn from east to west as parallels on the globe. Latitudes are referred to as parallels.

The 0° latitude drawn from east to west the equator. It runs across the globe dividing the earth onto two halves known as the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere.

The parallel lines north of the equator are known as the north latitudes and those that are south if the equator are known as the south latitudes.


⭐️⭐️⭐️ LONGITUDES ⭐️⭐️⭐️

The imaginary line that joins both the north and south poles is known as the longitudes.

The Prime Meridian passes through Greenwich, near London, and is also known as the Greenwich Meridian. The lines if longitude are referred to as meridians.
Longitude is an imaginary line running from the North Pole to the South Pole that specifics the east-west position of a point on the Earth's surface. Longitude is measured in degrees (0-180°) east or west with reference to the Prime Meridian, which is taken to be the 0° longitude. The longitude of the other places is measured in degrees east or west of Greenwich.


REMEMBER THIS!

The 180° E and 180° W longitudes are the same longitudes. Similarly, the 0° and 360° longitudes are the same longitude.

As lines of latitudes and longitudes cross each other, they form a grid. Any position on earth can be located if the latitude and longitude are known. The grids on the maps help us find a particular location.
Longitudes also help us to calculate the time of a particular place.

The 180° longitude is also known as the international Date Line (IDL).


Thanks for the awesome question.

hope this helps u............

Answer 2

latitudes help us to find the location in the globe and longitudes help us to know the time. as we indian follow the time of standard meridians which cross through mirzapur.
thankyou
