-- Each degree of latitude, anywhere on Earth, is about 69 miles in a north or south direction. -- Each degree of longitude covers a different distance, depending on the latitude. At the poles, any number of degrees of longitude cover zero distance.
There is no such coordinate as 100 degrees latitude, either north or south. The maximum latitude number is 90 degrees, at the north and south poles.
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude.That is, they intersect at right angles.And here's a fascinating trivia factoid that you can use to amuse and amazeyour friends:-- No matter how many of these intersections you think there are,there are more than that.-- There are an infinite number of meridians of longitude, and every oneof them intersects an infinite number of parallels of latitude.
One obvious error is the fact that any "east" number is a longitude, and any "south" number is a latitude.
-- Each meridian ( 'line' ) of longitude represents all of the infinite number of points on the Earth's surface that have that one specific longitude. -- Each parallel ( 'line' ) of latitude represents all of the infinite number of points on the Earth's surface that have that one specific latitude.

The city with latitude and longitude as prime numbers is Honolulu, Hawaii. Its latitude is approximately 21.3° N, which is a prime number, and its longitude is approximately 157.8° W, which is also a prime number.
Every point on Earth has 1 longitude number and 1 latitude number. The center of Mexico City is located at roughly 19.44° north latitude 99.13° west longitude.

Second, after latitude.
The longitude is typically listed second, after the latitude. Except for computer input, though, it's not a hard and fast rule. Where the coordinates are to be read by a human being, it makes absolutely no difference which coordinate you list first, just as long as you clearly indicate which number is the latitude and which one is the longitude.

Longitude is the number of degrees east or west along a line of latitude from the prime meridian.
