Latitude and Longitude determine one's location on Earth. Latitude runs East to West in parallel lines, but determines one's location South or North. Longitude does not run in parallel lines, but meets at the North and South poles, and runs North to South, but it shows the location East or West.

How longitudes help us?
Longitudes help us determine the specific location of a place on Earth by measuring the angle east or west from the Prime Meridian. They provide a framework for creating time zones and understanding time differences between locations around the world. Longitudes also help in navigation, cartography, and coordinating global communication and transportation systems.
