Question

why in northern hemisphere latitude is pointed as north'N' but longitude is pointed as east and west​

Answer 1

Answer:

The symbolic interpretation is that a choice can be made arbitrarily but its result is clearer to us only when we think about it in hindsight. So we must not regret any decision which we make.

Answer 2

Answer:

The axis is tilted and points to the North Star no matter where Earth is in its orbit. Because of this, the distribution of the Sun's rays changes. In June, in the northern hemisphere summer, the Sun's rays — and warmth — reach all the way to the north pole.
