Answer 2

Longitudes & Latitudes are useful in making maps :

• The Latitude and the longitude make up a grid system that helps us to identify absolute, exact, locations of any place on the Earth's surface.

• We can use latitude & longitude to identify  the specific location on Earth(Globe). Latitude & longitude are also useful and helpful in identifying the landmarks.

• Longitude is measured as 180° both east and west  sides of the prime meridian.

• As this aids to locate longitudinal positions on the globe or map, meridians are plotted & drawn from one pole to another pole where they meet.

• The distance per the degree of a longitude at Equator is about 111.32 Km (69.18 miles) and at the poles, 0.
