Latitude and longitude are used to find the degrees horizontally and vertically around the earth, pin-pointing a location.
Latitude and longitude provide a "grid system" by which any location on Earth can be specified.

To establish precise locations for any point on the earth's surface.
-- 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.
i dont know that is why i am telling u
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.
If you give me accurate and precise numbers for the latitude and longitude of a point on the surface of the earth, I can use those numbers to go to the right place, and stick a pin in the ground within an inch of the exact spot.

It depends on the place. Every point on Earth has a different set of latitude/longitude coordinates.
So you can find precise locations on the Earth's surface.

you use latitude and longitude to find exact locations on earth.

The latitude of Antarctica is approximately 66 to 90 degrees South. All lines of longitude converge at the South Pole, so all lines of longitude pass through Antarctica. Antarctica is a continent covering 10% of the earth's surface -- about as large as USA and Mexico combined. Latitude and longitude imply specific locations, not general geographies.

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.
alberuni invented the longitude and latitude of earth.
Every point on Earth has both a longitude and a latitude. And if someone gives you a longitude and a latitude, you can use them to find exactly one point on Earth.
