How can lines of longitude and latitude help you find the absolute location?

Answer 1

First, you need to know the definitions of latitude and longitude.

Latitude: angular distance from the equator: the angular distance north or south

of the equator, which is the imaginary line around Earth exactly mid-way between

the north and south poles.

Longitude: angular distance from prime meridian: the angular distance east or west

of the prime meridian that stretches from the North Pole to the South Pole and

passes through Greenwich, England.

Basically, latitude lines are lines going from east to west and longitude lines

are 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 a

place 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 a

way to pin-point a particular place.

Answer 2

The longitude and latitude work like a graph so you can pin point any location like a plot.
