Question

Why has man determined the imaginary lines like latitudes and longitudes​

Answer 1

Answer:

Because of the Earth's curvature, the farther the circles are from the Equator, the smaller they are. Similar to latitude, the corresponding measurement of distance around the Earth is called longitude

Answer 2

The reasons why man has determined the imaginary lines like latitudes and longitudes​ are:

• Latitudes and longitudes are grids that divide the entire Earth into small parts.
• Latitudes and longitudes help us to find the distance of a place from the equator, i.e. how north or south a place is from the equator.
• This is very important as it helps in determining climatic conditions, pressure conditions, time zone, patterns of wind circulation, and the exact location of a place.
