Question

what are latitudes and longitudes?

Answer 1

Latitude is an angle defined below which ranges from 0° at the Equator to 90° North or South at the poles. Lines of constant latitude, or parallels, run east–west as circles parallel to the equator. Latitude is used together with longitude to specify the precise location of features on the surface of the Earth.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Latitude - Latitude is a geographical coordinate that specifies a point on the Earth's surface north-south. Latitude is an angle at the poles ranging from 0 ° to 90 ° at the equator. Constant latitude lines, or parallels, run east-west as parallel equator circles.

Longitude - Longitude is a spatial coordinate that defines a point's east-west location on the Earth's surface, or a celestial body's ground. It is an angular calculation, usually expressed in degrees and the Greek letter lambda denotes this. Meridians have the same longitude as linking points.
