Question

What is the meaning of longitude and latitude?​

Answer 1

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).

Answer 2

Explanation:

Latitude and longitude are a system of lines used to describe the location of any place on Earth. Lines of latitude run in an east-west direction across Earth. Lines of longitude run in a north-south direction. Although these are only imaginary lines, they appear on maps and globes as if they actually existed.
