write any two difference between longitude and latitude
Answers
Explanation:
Definition-
Latitude alludes to the horizontal lines that represent the distance of any point, north or south of the equator, its direction is east to west.
On the other hand, longitude implies the vertical lines indicating the distance of any point, east or west of the prime meridian, its direction is north to south.
Latitudes are also known as parallels while longitudes are termed as meridians.
Difference-
1) All latitudes are parallel to each other but longitudes are not parallel.
2)All latitudes are different in length but all longitudes are same in length.
Answer:
Longitude is the measurement east or west of the prime meridian. Longitude is measured by imaginary lines that run around the Earth vertically (up and down) and meet at the North and South Poles. These lines are known as meridians. Each meridian measures one arcdegree of longitude
In geography, latitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the north–south position of a point on the Earth's surface. Latitude is an angle (defined below) which ranges from 0° at the Equator to 90° (North or South) at the poles.
