Answer:
Latitude -
It is the measurement of distance north or south of the Equator.
It is measured with 180 imaginary lines that form circles around the Earth east-west, parallel to the Equator. These lines are known as parallels.
A circle of latitude is an imaginary ring linking all points sharing a parallel.
Longitude -
It is the measurement east or west of the prime meridian.
It is measured by imaginary lines that run around the Earth vertically (up and down) and meet at the North and South Poles. These lines are known as meridians.
Each meridian measures one arc degree of longitude.
