Answer 1

Explanation:

longitude-

the longitude specifies the location's distance east or west from an imaginary line connecting the north and south pole.

latitude-

the latitude specifies a location's distance north or south of the equator.

Answer 2

Latitude is an angle (defined below) which ranges from 0° at the Equator to 90° (North or South) at the poles. Lines of constant latitude, or parallels, run east–west as circles parallel to the equator. Latitude is used together with longitude to specify the precise location of features on the surface of the Earth.
