Question

students will understand how latitude and longitude are used to identify places on a map


please write correct answer​

Answer 1

Latitude:

• Imaginary circular, horizontal lines on earth
• Measured in degrees
• All parallel circles from the equator up to the poles are called parallels of latitudes

Longitude/ Meridians of Longitude:

• Imaginary vertical lines on earth
• Measured in 'degrees of longitude', each degree is further divided into minutes, & minutes into seconds

Now think, they both will intersect, right?! So for any places, we can find out what is the longitude and latitude, and this method is used for navigation purposes, such as in aeroplane.

This is my first answer after getting an #Expert title. :) Thanks.
