Question

What is the difference between latitudes and longitudes?

Answer 1

1.Longitude refers to the long lines on the globe or a map between the poles while Latitude is used to refer to the lateral lines on the globe stretching between east and west.
2.Longitudes stretch from 0 to 180 degrees while Latitude stretches from 0 to 90 degrees.
3.The Latitudes are denoted technically by the symbol ‘phi’ (Φ) while the Longitudes are denoted by the symbol ‘lambda’ (λ).
4.The Longitude of a place would normally determine its time zone while the Latitude would actually determine the climate and the weather of the region.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation: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).
