Latitude and longitude are the two main coordinate systems used to determine specific locations on Earth's surface.
Lines of latitude, also known as parallels, are imaginary lines that circle the Earth parallel to the equator. They measure the distance north or south of the equator in degrees. The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude and divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. The North Pole is located at 90 degrees north latitude while the South Pole is located at 90 degrees south latitude.
Lines of longitude, also known as meridians, are imaginary lines that intersect the lines of latitude and converge at the poles. They measure the distance east or west of the prime meridian, which runs through Greenwich, London, and is designated as 0 degrees longitude. Longitude values increase to the east and west up to 180 degrees.
Together, lines of latitude and longitude form a grid-like pattern around the Earth, allowing us to pinpoint locations with precision. By determining the latitude and longitude coordinates of a specific location, we can uniquely identify any place on Earth's surface.
