Question

write the difference between the longitude and latitude
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

7. 1° of longitude is about the same distance as 1° of latitude at the equator. The longitudes are not parallel to each other, hence meridians do not stay the same distance apart at all places on Earth.

Answer 2

Answer:

The latitude specifies a location's distance north or south of the equator. The longitude specifies the location's distance east or west from an imaginary line connecting the North and South Poles, called the Prime Meridian.

Latitude and longitude are used together to specify the geographical coordinates of a location on Earth. Latitudes, represented by the Greek letter phi (Φ), are called parallels and longitudes, denoted by the Greek letter lambda (λ), are called meridians
