Question

what is longitude and latitude?​

Answer 1

Answer:

When we describe the Earth in spherical coordinates it is called Geographic, or Un-projected. The most common system for locating points on the earth is with "Longitudes" and "Latitudes". 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)..........
