When you use longitude and latitude it makes it much,much easier to find an
specific place.First,you look for the longitude and then the latitude and then
you run your both fingers down the line until they both meet each other and
that's when you find your place or city that you where looking for.
==============================
By taking a ruler and making one measurement up from the floor and one
measurement from the corner of the room, you can come up with two numbers
that exactly describe the location of any point on the entire wall.
By doing exactly the same thing on the globe, you can come up with two numbers
that exactly describe the location of any point on the entire Earth. You just have to
know where each measurement starts from. And the rulers are printed right there
on the globe for you.
Exactly the same way that the street signs and the numbers on the buildings
help you locate a place in a city.
-- You look at the street-name/longitude, then at a map, and you know
how far east or west to go to find it.
-- Then you look at the address/latitude, and you know how far north
or south to go to find it.
-- The system of street names and addresses is different in every city,
and often in different parts of the same city.
-- The system of latitude and longitude is the same everywhere on Earth,
and it uses nothing but numbers everywhere.
The exact location of any point on the Earth's surface.
They tell you a specific location using latitude and longitude.
Yes.
They do not. The purpose of latitude and longitude is to give everyone an unambiguous way to describe any location on Earth, in a way that anybody else will be able to locate this same spot.
Latitude and longitude are geographical coordinates that provide an exact location on the Earth's surface. The latitude represents the distance north or south of the equator, while the longitude measures the distance east or west of the prime meridian. By using these coordinates, it becomes much easier to accurately locate and pinpoint places on a map, enabling precise navigation and identification of specific locations worldwide.
The system of latitudes and longitudes is a method used to locate points on the Earth's surface. There is a similar coordinate system used to locate objects in the sky, but it's not latitude/longitude.
Geography is the study of the Earth's surface features and processes. In geography, it is important to locate these features on the surface of the planet. To do this you have to have some sort of coordinate system. Latitude and longitude are this system they enable maps of earth to be made and for airplanes and ships to get to places on the planet.
It is like coordinates all around the earth
It locates a place through degrees
Yes.
Yes.
Latitude and Longitude

They are used to locate a certain place on a map.
To locate any spot on the Earth's surface.

By Longitude, Latitude, minutes, seconds. Or use Google Earth.
We use latitude and longitude to precisely describe the location of places on the surface of the Earth.
