latitude and logitude are used to find the exact location of a place, as long as you know the coordinents
Latitude, which is measured in degrees, minutes and seconds.
The unit of measure used to determine absolute location is degrees and minutes of latitude and longitude. The Earth has 360 degrees at the equator.
Degrees.
There are 90 degrees latitude from the equator (zero degrees latitude) to the North Pole.
Latitude is the measurement of degrees from the equator to the pole so that the pole has a latitude of 90 degrees. Co-latitude is the measurement of degrees from the pole to the equator so that the equator has a latitude of 90 degrees. Also the sum of latitude and co-latitude is always 90 degrees.
Degrees.
The term used to measure the distance from the equator is "latitude." Latitude is expressed in degrees, with the equator defined as 0 degrees. Locations north of the equator have positive latitude values (up to 90 degrees North), while locations south of the equator have negative latitude values (down to 90 degrees South).
A line of latitude is the line of latitude shown on a map, usually representing 10 degrees latitude. Degrees of latitude are simply the number of degrees, such as 33.33 etc.
Zero degrees of latitude is the Equator.
Degrees.
The other name that is used for lines latitude is parallels. The main latitude is the equator which is at zero degrees.
