Latitude and longitude are imaginary (unreal) lines drawn on maps to easily locate places on the Earth. Latitude is distance north or south of the equator (an imaginary circle around the Earth halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole) and longitude is distance east or west of the prime meridian (an imaginary line running from north to south through Greenwich, England). Both are measured in terms of the 360 degrees (symbolized by °) of a circle.

Howdy, buddy!
Latitude generally means the point in its relationship to the equator.
It is an angle which varies from 0° towards the Equator to 90° at the poles.
Longitude refers to a measurement of distance, which is usually given in degrees east or west concerning the prime meridian.
glad to help uh!
