The difference between them is that:
Lines of latitude are horizontal lines that extend from East to West along the globe while Longitude is vertical line which runs from North to the South pole.
A latitude is the part of a set of global coordinates that indicates the number of degrees from the equator toward one of the poles, and a longitude is the other part of the coordinates which indicates the number of degrees from the prime meridian along a line of latitude. Latitudes are represented on many maps by lines going from east to west, and longitudes are represented as lines from north to south.
The mnemonic device I came up with to remember the difference is latitudes are the lines on the map that lay flat(horizontal), and longitudes are the lines that are equally long (each one extends from pole to pole).
Latitude tells how far a point is north or south of the equator.
Longitude tells you how far a point is east or west of the Prime Meridian.
With those two numbers, you can pin down the location of any point on earth
within a few inches.
What else can I help you with?
Can you use longitude in a question?
What is the difference between longitude and latitude? Given it's longitude and latitude, can you locate the area?
What is the difference between longiltude and latitude?
Longitude are the vertical lines found in a map or globe while latitude are the horizontal lines.
What is the difference between one degree of longitude between Adak Alaska and Barrow Alaska?
At the latitude of Adak, 1° longitude = 68.59 km (42.62 miles) At the latitude of Barrow, 1° longitude = 35.64 km (22.15 miles) Difference = 32.95 km (20.47 miles) longer at Adak
Can time of a latitude be determined by a given information about the time of a longitude?
No, for two big reasons:-- Time does not change with the latitude.-- If you name one longitude, then there's a point somewhere on that longitudefor every latitude.
What is the time difference between two latitudes?
there is no time difference between any two locations separated by x-amount of latitude as long as they are on the same longitude. When they are on different longitudes and separated by latitude count the number of longitudes between the locations to get the time difference
What is the difference between a latitude-longitude map and a military grid reference system map?
Latitude measures the distance from East to West. Longitude measures the distance from North to South. As for Military Grid, it shows a location/object on the map and, what Latitude and Longitude line that location/object is on.
What is the latitudinal and longitudinal extent of Andaman and Nicobar islands?
The total surface of Andaman and Nicobar Islands is 8 249 km2. Latitude: between approx. 150 North latitude and 70 North latitude. Longitude: between approx. 920 East longitude and 950 East longitude.
What is the longitude and latitude of Indiana?
Indiana is between 84.78° and 88.10° west longitude and between 37.77° and 41.77° north latitude.
What is the difference between lines of longitude and lines of latitude?
Firstly, different maps or atlases draw lines of latitude and longitude in varying degrees apart. Although most maps have differences of 10 degrees apart, atlases can be as close as 1 or 2 degrees. Secondly, you might be referring to the major lines of latitude and longitude, such as the Equator and the Prime Meridian. Some maps that are very small only show the major lines of latitude and longitude. The difference between the equator and the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn is 23.5 degrees, while the difference between the equator and the Arctic and Antarctic Circles is 66.5 degrees. The difference between the Prime Meridian and the International Date Line is 180 degrees.

How many degrees difference is t there between each line of longitude and latitude on the globe?
depends on the globe you look at
Difference between equator and prime miridian?
The differences are that the Equator in zero line of latitude. While the Prime Meridian is zero line of longitude. Latitude is horizontal and parallel to the Equator, and longitude runs from pole to pole.
