If you used a sextant and a marine chronometer you could determine your position and plot this on a map using latitude and longitude. If you did this regularly you would be able to plot your course.
Lines of latitude Have flatitude. Longitudinal lines Rise like porcupines.
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.

Latitude lays flat and spiders have long legs
Lines of latitude run from east to west and lines of longitude run north to south, they help give the position on earths surface.
Lines of latitude Have flatitude. Longitudinal lines Rise like porcupines.
The lines on a map that run north-south are called meridians of longitude, and the lines that run east-west are called parallels of latitude. These lines help to indicate the location and coordinates of different places on Earth.
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.
If you knew your latitude was 57 and your longitude was 47, then you could look on a map of the earth and see which line is latitude 57. You could then follow latitude line 57 until you see hit longitude line 47. This would give you the precise location of your whereabouts.

latitude and longitude
Lines of latitude and longitude are only shown only maps so as to help people navigate and pinpoint places on Earth with more accuracy.
Latitude lays flat and spiders have long legs
Lines of latitude and longitude help us locate places on maps and globes. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure the distance east or west of the prime meridian. By using these lines, we can pinpoint the exact coordinates of any location on Earth.
Latitude lines are imaginary lines that run East to West but measure North to South on the Globe. I remember latitude is fatitude. Longitude lines go North to South but measure East to West. I remember it as LONGitude.
Latitude and longitude lines help geographers identify specific locations on Earth's surface. Latitude lines run east-west and measure the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run north-south and measure the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. Together, these lines create a grid system that allows for precise navigation and location identification.
The invisible lines around the earth are called lines of latitude and longitude. Lines of latitude run east-west and measure the distance north and south of the equator, while lines of longitude run north-south and measure the distance east and west of the Prime Meridian. These lines help in locating specific points on Earth's surface.
