Does using latitude and longitude helps locate and place on earth?

How are the lines of latitude and longitude used to locate points on Earth's surface?

What Are the purposes of the lines of latitude and longitude?

What longitude and latitude is the prime meridian?

What do latitude and longitude lines represent?
-- Each meridian ( 'line' ) of longitude represents all of the infinite number of points on the Earth's surface that have that one specific longitude. -- Each parallel ( 'line' ) of latitude represents all of the infinite number of points on the Earth's surface that have that one specific latitude.
How do latitude and longitude lines help to locate places on earth?
It is like coordinates all around the earth
What is the latitude and longitude of mars?
"Longitude" and "latitude" are the coordinates used primarily in the system of locating points on the earth's surface. Even when that generalization doesn't hold, they're only applicable to the location of points on the surface of another sphere. There's no way to use that kind of system to locate a planet.
