What are the two positions on earth where both latitude and longitude can be written correctly without any directions?
The two positions on Earth where both latitude and longitude can be written without any directions are the equator (0 degrees latitude) and the Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude) in Greenwich, England.
How is longitude and latitude measured?
Latitude is measured as the angle between the point and the equator, ranging from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. Longitude is measured as the angle between the point and the prime meridian, ranging from 0° to 180° east or west. These measurements help pinpoint a specific location on Earth's surface.
