Answer:

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system associated with positions on Earth. The most common GCF is the set of latitude, longitude and elevation. Other, more specialized GCS are the geocentric coordinates and the geodetic coordinates.

Explanation:

The Earth is divided into degrees of longitude and latitude which helps us measure location and time using a single standard. ... Longitude and latitude lines measure the distance from the Earth's Equator or central axis - running east to west - and the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, England - running north to south.

Answer:

Latitudes and Longitudes are imaginary lines passing through the Earth....apart from being just imaginary lines...they are useful to us in a number of ways...!!

The most important is that they help us to locate a particular place

Let's discuss about them in a brief detailed manner:-

Explanation:

LATITUDE - I) These are parallel lines running from east to West ; dividing the Earth into the northern and the southern Hemisphere.

ii) The total Latitudes are 180° and each latitude is apart from each other at a distance of about 69 miles (110km).

iii) The longest latitude is the Equator (also known as 0° latitude)

LONGITUDE - I) These are also parallel lines but running from North to SouthSouth ; dividing the Earth into the eastern and the Western Hemisphere.

ii) There are a total of 360 longitudes all over the Earth.

iii) The Meridian passing through Greenwich at London is the most important Longitude.
