Answer:

I will not be able to answer all but I will try how much possible

Explanation:

1. The Equator divides the globe into two equal portions—the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. ... Longitude then ranges from 0° to 180°, east or west (E or W). Used together, latitude and longitude pinpoint locations on the geographic grid
2. Great circle route, the shortest course between two points on the surface of a sphere. ... It lies in a plane that intersects the sphere's centre and was known by mathematicians before the time of Columbus.
3. In astronomy, axial tilt, also known as obliquity, is the angle between an object's rotational axis and its orbital axis, or, equivalently, the angle between its equatorial plane and orbital plane. It differs from orbital inclination. ... Earth's obliquity oscillates between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees on a 41,000-year cycle.
4. Two types of imaginary reference lines are used to locate positions or points and to make accurate globes and maps. These lines are called parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude.
5. A relative location is the position of something relative to another landmark. For example, you might say you're 50 miles west of Houston. An absolute location describes a fixed position that never changes, regardless of your current location. It is identified by specific coordinates, such as latitude and longitude.
6. Latitude is the measurement of distance north or south of the Equator. It is measured with 180 imaginary lines that form circles around the Earth east-west, parallel to the Equator. These lines are known as parallels. ... The Equator is the line of 0 degrees latitude.

Answer:

In geography, latitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the north–south position of a point on the Earth's surface. Latitude is an angle which ranges from 0° at the Equator to 90° at the poles. Lines of constant latitude, or parallels, run east–west as circles parallel to the equator

Longitude, is a geographic coordinate that specifies the east–west position of a point on the Earth's surface, or the surface of a celestial body. It is an angular measurement, usually expressed in degrees and denoted by the Greek letter lambda. Meridians connect points with the same longitude
