Well, what 'point' do you want to call the location of Philadelphia, realizing that
every point on Earth has a different set of latitude/longitude coordinates, and
realizing how many different points there are in Philadelphia ?
The center of the Logan Square fountain is located at
39.95794° north latitude
75.17059° west longitude,
whereas the west end of Runway-9R at Philadelphia International Airport
is located at
39.86083° north latitude
75.27509° west longitude.
Other spots around town have somewhat different coordinates.
.
Every point on Earth has both a longitude and a latitude. And if someone gives you a longitude and a latitude, you can use them to find exactly one point on Earth.
That point is in the block bounded by Market St., Chestnut St., S. 5th and S.6th St., in Philadelphia, PA. It's the block immediately north of Independence Hall.
The point where they cross is zero latitude / 180° longitude.
Latitude: N 39° 57' 8.406"Longitude: W 75° 9' 49.6404"
Every point on the surface of the earth has latitude and longitude. If the latitude and longitude of a point are given and they're sufficiently accurate, the point can be found within less than an inch, anywhere on earth.
24 N is latitude, 55E is longitude. That point is in the UAE.
Latitude: N 39° 57' 9.3024" / Longitude: W 75° 9' 54.7992"
Latitude: N 39° 57' 9.3024" / Longitude: W 75° 9' 54.7992"
Every point on Earth has a latitude and a longitude. Together, they tell you exactly where the point is located.
Once you name a longitude and latitude, you've nailed down a single point on the Earth's surface, and no other point anywhere on Earth can have the same longitude and latitude.
Latitude: N 39° 57' 9.3024" / Longitude: W 75° 9' 54.7992"
Latitude: N 39° 57' 9.3024" / Longitude: W 75° 9' 54.7992"
