Yes, they help, but you need more. You also need a 'latitude' ...
the distance of the location north or south of the equator.
Lines of latitude must be used with lines of longitude to help us find the absolute location. Lines of latitude alone cannot determine absolute location.
The lines are what determines the absolute location of a place on the map.
The longitude of a location is its angle east or west of the Prime Meridian.
First, you need to know the definitions of latitude and longitude.Latitude: angular distance from the equator: the angular distance north or southof the equator, which is the imaginary line around Earth exactly mid-way betweenthe north and south poles.Longitude: angular distance from prime meridian: the angular distance east or westof the prime meridian that stretches from the North Pole to the South Pole andpasses through Greenwich, England.Basically, latitude lines are lines going from east to west and longitude linesare lines going from north to south.Now, you need to know what absolute location is.Absolute location: the exact place using the exactlatitude and longitude of aplace or destination.So, you can guess what I'm going to say next.Longitude and latitude angles help you find the absolute location by providing away to pin-point a particular place.
Lines of longitude and latitude cross each other and denote the absolute location of the area crossed by the coordinates. Each area on earth has it own absolute location.
Lines of latitude must be used with lines of longitude to help us find the absolute location. Lines of latitude alone cannot determine absolute location.
It's either Latitude & Longitude or the Prime Meridian
Lines of longitude and latitude provide a coordinate system that allows you to pinpoint a specific location on Earth. Longitude lines run north-south and measure east or west of the Prime Meridian, while latitude lines run east-west and measure north or south of the Equator. By using the intersection of these lines, you can determine the absolute location of a place on the Earth's surface.
The Prime Meridian and Equator is but the beginning points. Longitude lines runs from pole to pole. Latitude lines runs horizontally from the equator, northwards and southwards.
Grid lines
The lines are what determines the absolute location of a place on the map.
The Prime Meridian is an imaginary line from which angles east and west are measured in order to help define and describe locations. The angle thus measured is called the location's 'longitude'.
The features on a map help you find absolute location by finding the absolute lOcation
The longitude of a location is its angle east or west of the Prime Meridian.
Longitude
absolute location is how to find a location on a map using degrees and latitude/ longitude lines.
longtitude and latitude are the lines used to pin point your location on the globe, are these the lines you are refering to?
