longitude ranges from -180° to to +180°. 0° being the prime meridian at Greenwich UK.

East being the positive and west the negative degrees.

latitude goes from -90° in the south, to +90° in th north, 0° being at the equator.

So if the question is which has the largest range longitude has the largest range. (360°)

not sure if that was what you asked for, but .
