Do you look at the lines of latitude or the lines of longitude first when you are finding the coordinates?

It does not matter whether you look at the lines of latitude or longitude first. Usually coordinates are written latitude, then longitude.
Good luck!

When coordinates are stated, latitude is commonly stated first. But it really doesn't matter at all.

clearly indicate which one is which when you list the numbers.

When given latitude and longitude coordinates which is given first?
Yeahh. You always do latitude, then longitude. =)
What came first latitude and longitude or GPS coordinates?
Latitude and longitude came first. A very long time before such things as satellites, computers and smart phones ever existed.
What cootdinate is always given frirst?
Latitude is given first, followed by longitude. For example, the coordinates for London, England is 51.5074° North Latitude, 0.1278° West Longitude.
Which comes first when writing latitude and longitude?
Latitude is more often given first. But it really doesn't matter, just as long as the coordinates are clearly identified.
Does latitude or longitude go first when describing a location?

What were the coordinates of the first manned moon landing?
Landing site coordinates: 0.647° N latitude, 23.505° E. longitude.

What comes first longitude or latitude?
Coordinates are given with the degree of latitude first, follow by the degree of longitude. For example, New York City lies at about 41 degrees North, 74 degrees West.

How do you use latitude and longitude coordinates to find an absolute location on a map?
First, look on the map to find the line of latitude that the coordinates reference. If the exact line of latitude isn't shown on the map, estimate it by looking at the lines that are available. Then look on the map to find the longitude line that the coordinates reference. Once you have found the two lines, follow them both towards the point where they intersect. That is the location the coordinates reference.
Who discover latitude?
Hipparchus, a Greek astronomer who lived between 190 and 120 BC, was the first person to specify location by using latitude and longitude as coordinates.
Why is latitude always given first?
It isn't. The coordinates of a point may be given in either order, as long as it's clearly identified which one is latitude and which one is longitude.
In which year was latitude and longitude invented?
The Greek invented latitude and longitude. Someone devised a concept of using a reference system based on the shape of the Earth, with the coordinates (latitude, longitude) expressed as degrees. In the 3rd century BC Erathosthenes proposed a system of latitude and longitude for a map. The following century (2nd century BC) Hipparchus was the first to use the above system to uniquely specify certain places on th Earth.
The degree of longitude is always listed?
Second, after latitude.
