Every point on Earth has a different set of geographic coordinates, and Dubai is
a big place, with many points in it.
The Deira Clocktower (Arabic: دوار الساعة ديرة), is a roundabout at the intersection
of Umm Hurair Road and route D 89 (Al Maktoum Road) in east Dubai.
The center of the roundabout is located at
25.25869° north latitude
55.32644° east longitude.
You find the lines of latitude and longitude and find the place that they intersect, which is your location.
a location.
latitude and longitude
Lines of latitude indicate a location's distance north or south of the Equator, while lines of longitude show its distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. By identifying the intersection of specific latitude and longitude lines, you can pinpoint an absolute location on a map. The coordinates (latitude and longitude) provide a precise geographical reference for any point on Earth.
We use latitude and longitude to precisely describe the location of places on the surface of the Earth.
Latitude and Longitude
Latitude and Longitude :)
Latitude lines run parallel to the equator and measure a location's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run perpendicular to the equator and measure a location's distance east or west of the prime meridian. Latitude lines are represented by horizontal lines on maps, while longitude lines are represented by vertical lines.
The 'latitude' of a location is its angle north or south of the equator. The 'longitude' of a location is its angle east or west of the Prime Meridian.
If globes only had latitude lines, it would be difficult to determine a location's east-west position. If globes only had longitude lines, it would be challenging to determine a location's north-south position. Both latitude and longitude lines are necessary for accurately pinpointing a location on the Earth's surface.
Lines of longitude and latitude cross each other and denote the absolute location of the area crossed by the coordinates. Each area on earth has it own absolute location.
Yes, lines of latitude and longitude are used to determine specific locations on the Earth's surface. Lines of latitude run east-west and are used to measure how far north or south a location is from the equator. Lines of longitude run north-south and measure how far east or west a location is from the Prime Meridian.
