Question

what are longitude and latitude?

Answer 1

Latitude is distance north or south of the equator (a circle around the Earth halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole)
Longitude is distance east or west of the prime meridian (a line running from north to south through Greenwich, England).
Latitude is an angle 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:

Both longitude and latitude are angles measured with the center of the earth as an origin. A longitude is an angle from the prime merdian, measured to the east (longitudes to the west are negative). Latitudes measure an angle up from the equator (latitudes to the south are negative).
