Degrees, minutes and seconds are the traditional units. Increasingly decimal notation is taking over.
degrees
No. Latitude and longitude are angles, and angles have no physical units. So the numbers are the same regardless of what system of units you like.
Latitude and longitude are typically given in degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). These units are used to specify locations on the Earth's surface in terms of their angular distance north or south of the equator (latitude) and east or west of the prime meridian (longitude).
Latitude and longitude are angles, and are stated in degrees and fractions of degrees.
Latitude is measured basically in Degrees, more specifically in Degrees and Minutes, and even more specifically Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds.
Latitude and longitude are angles, since they represent arcs on the surface of a sphere (the Earth). Therefore they're described in units of angles.
Minutes & seconds
i suppose they're opposites and theyre both units in measure
On a graph, 'x' and 'y' are marked and measured in length or distance units. Latitude and longitude are marked and measured in angles.
No. The latitude of a point on Earth is the angle on the surface starting at the equator and measuring north or south to the point of interest. All points on Earth that have the same latitude form a line that displays east-west on a map or globe.
A degree of longitude and latitude is further subdivided into minutes and seconds (units of arc, not time).
Initially, degrees, minutes and seconds were used. It is now more common to use degrees with decimal places.
