That's like asking "How many different lengths are there on a ruler ?" There may be only
a few marks, but there are an infinite number of possible numbers between the marks.
There are as many as you need in order to pin a location down to a thousandth of an inch
anywhere on the earth's surface, and an infinite number all together. Whatever two numbers
you choose ... no matter how close together they are ... I can always find another number
that's in between your two.
Latitudes range from zero to 90 degrees, north and south. Longitudes range from
zero to 180 degrees, east and west. Within those ranges, the measurements can
be anything at all. Every point on earth has a different set of coordinates, and
a point 0.00001 inch away from the first one has a somewhat different set.
It tells people where they are in the world.
Latitudes are parallel to the equator. Longitudes converge like elastics on a soccer ball.

They aren't, latitudes are.
The knowledge of latitude and longitude is important for people because it helps them to understand and locates the geographical location and globe better. The use of latitudes and longitudes offer a better and quick grasp of geographical facts.It determines the time zones of the different regions of the world. With the help of longitudes and latitudes, it is easy to calculate local time and standard time. Longitudes and latitudes also help in calculating the distance from one place to another.
Latitudes, the north/south coordinates.

I tried. Believe me, I tried. But I finally had to give up trying to figure out whether 90 and 45 are latitudes or longitudes, and if they're latitudes, whether they're north or south latitudes, and if they're longitudes, whether they're east or west longitudes.
