Question

What is latitude and longitude ? How are they different?​

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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).
