Latitude and longitude are numbers that you can measure as close as you want

to the truth, but never exact.

Every point on Earth has a different set of coordinates. In principle, two pencil

dots on the same piece of paper have different coordinates. And to ask for a

set of coordinates that represents the location of an entire nation is especially

meaningless.

-- Panama occupies the range of 7.2028° - 9.6365° North latitude,

and 77.1586° - 83.0461° West longitude.

-- The Southwest end of Runway-04 at Aeropuerto Internacional Enrique Malek

just south of David is located at

8.3861° north latitude

82.4397° west longitude.

-- The north end of Runway-21R at Tocumen International Airport is

located at

9.0933° north latitude

79.3750° west longitude.

-- The center of the pitcher's mound at Roberto Mariano Bula Stadium

in Colon is located at

9.3566° north latitude

79.8959° west longitude.

-- The south end of the runway at Bahia Piñas airport, at Puerto Piña

on the south coast of Panama about 30 miles northwest of the border

with Colombia, is located at

7.5849° north latitude

78.1809° west longitude.

Other points in the country all have different coordinates.

The figures above are precise to within about 12 meters, and accurate to

within perhaps 25 meters. If you need it better than that, you'll need to

hire your own land survey.

This is formed when the latitude and longitude lines meet?

An intersection of latitude and longitude lines is called a coordinate, pinpointing a specific location on Earth's surface. The coordinates are typically measured in degrees to indicate the exact position, with latitude lines running horizontally and longitude lines vertically. This system enables precise mapping and navigation.

What are latitude and longitude for?

Latitude and longitude are coordinates used to determine a specific location on Earth's surface. Latitude lines run east-west and measure north-south position, while longitude lines run north-south and measure east-west position. Together, they form a grid system that helps pinpoint exact locations.


Lines of latitude and lines of longitude are perpendicular to?
