Question

what is diffrence between latitudes and longitudes explain ​

Answer 1

The locations on the Earth’s surface are determined by two reference lines known as latitude and longitude. In the table below, we have given the various difference between latitude and longitude.

Latitude Longitude

Latitude implies the geographic coordinates that determine the distance of a point, north-south of the equator. Longitude alludes to the geographic coordinate, which identifies the distance of a point, east-west of the Prime Meridian.

It is known as parallels It is known as meridians

The length of the lines are different The length of the lines are the same

It classifies heat zones It classifies time zones

There are 180 latitude lines There are 360 longitude lines

Answer 2

The distance from the equator to either pole is exactly 6,222 miles, or standard miles (10,013 Km). ... 1° of longitude is about the same distance as 1° of latitude at the equator. The longitudes are not parallel to each other, hence meridians do not stay the same distance apart at all places on Earth.
