Question

What are longitude and latitude

Answer 1

Answer:

The Longitude:-

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.

The Latitude:-

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.

Answer 2

longitudes and latitudes are imaginary lines on grid.

the longitudes are called medians and latitude are called parallels. longitudes are 360 in numbers and the middle most longitude is called the prime meridian which is at 180 degree. on the other hand lattitudes are 180 in numbers and the life parallel to the equator which is the middle most at 0 degree.
