Every point on Earth has a latitude and a longitude, and no two points have the
same set of numbers. So any point on Earth can be described, and navigated to,
using its latitude and longitude.
Exactly the way you describe and navigate to the right house for the first time,
using the two pieces of information that make up its address ... the name of the
street and the number on that street.

Latitude is the north/south angle between the equator and any point of interest.
Longitude is the east/west angle between the Prime Meridian and the same point.
With the two numbers that describe it, you can find any point on Earth.
You're free to locate places on Earth any way you want to do it. But if you decide to
use latitude and longitude, then you're guaranteed to be able to absolutely, positively,
and precisely describe any location on earth, with two numbers and no further explanation.
If you think that would be helpful, then go to it !
by following the coordinates of Latitude and longitude it will lead you do any place on a map try practicing on an atlas
Clever. That's a lot like asking "Where in my body am I ?" Since the system of latitude and longitude is a system invented for the purpose of describing locations on the surface of the earth, and is uniquely and exhaustively appropriate to that purpose, the complete answer consists of two parts: 1). The world is located at every imaginable and every possible latitude and longitude. 2). Every latitude and longitude is a location somewhere in the world.
Lines of latitude and longitude allow a specific point to be located any where on the world.
Longitude and latitude correspond to locations on the surface of the earth. The little dipper is in the sky. The world, itself, spins on an axis and rotates around the sun, there is no stationary latitude or longitude which corresponds to the little dipper.
The center of the intersection of Cross St and Washington Ave in Cairo IL is located at 37.0051° north latitude 89.1767° west longitude. It doesn't matter what time it is anywhere in the world. The geographic coordinates don't change. But other points in town do have different ones, because every point is in a different place.
A set of [ longitude and latitude ] defines one single unique point. That's why they're so useful.Barrow, Alaska has the same longitude as some places in Hawaii, but different latitude.Cancun Mexico, Guantanamo Bay Cuba, Mecca and Jidah Saudi Arabia, Silvassa India, central Myanmar,northern Laos, and Hanoi Vietnam, all have the same latitude as places in Hawaii, but differentlongitudes.The only place that has the same latitudes and longitudes as Hawaii is . . . Hawaii.

0.00 Degrees latitude, 0.00 degrees longitude.
The surface of the world contains all latitudes and all longitudes. Every point on the surface has different coordinates.
Lines of latitude and longitude allow a specific point to be located any where on the world.
Latitude will always be north and south on a world map. Longitude will always be east and west on a map.
