Question

with the help of neat labelled diagram explain latitude and longitude
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Latitude and longitude, coordinate system by means of which the position or location of any place on Earth’s surface can be determined and described.

LINES OF LONGITUDE - SHORTCUT

Longitudes show us the length or height of a map. A longitude is the angular distance of a place east or west of the Prime Meridian. The longitude that passes through the astronomical observatory at Greenwich, England is called the 0

C meridian, Prime meridian or Greenwich meridian. The lines of longitude are also called Meridians of Longitude.

LINES OF LATITUDE - SHORTCUT

The lines running east to west, parallel to the Equator are called lines of latitude. A latitude is marked in degrees, with the Equator being 0 degrees. Latitudes are expressed in minutes (') and seconds (''). These lines show us the width of the map. Every latitude must be designated with direction- N for 'north' or S for 'south.' Equator is the largest among all the latitudes.

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.
