Answer 1

$\huge{\mathscr{\orange{Answer}}}$

.Cartographers and geographers trace horizontal and vertical lines called latitudes and longitudes across Earth's surface to locate points on the globe. Longitudes and latitudes. Together, they form the Earth's geographical coordinates, and represent the angular distance of any location from the center of the Earth.

$\huge\mathfrak\purple {Answer:}$

Latitudes:

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.

The Equator is a special latitude which divides the north and south hemisphere of the Earth.

Longitudes:

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.

Longitudes are associated with the day and night differences experienced in Earth. It's said that for sunlight to reach from one longitude to other, it takes 4 minutes.
