Longitude and latitude are angles, so they can be described in any angle unit
such as radians, degrees, grads, etc. Degrees and subdivisions of degrees are
the most common.
degrees, for ex. 50 degress north 35 degrees south
Latitude and longitude are measured in degrees, minutes, seconds.
Degrees
Latitude and longitude are angles, and are best expressed in units of angle measurement. Radians and grads would work, but the most commonly used units are degrees, minutes, seconds, and fractions of seconds.
The three units of measure in which latitude and longitude are given are: degrees (°), minutes ('), and seconds ('').
Latitude and longitude are measurements of angles. Their units are the familiar units of angle measure ... either whole numbers or fractions of degrees, minutes, and seconds.
Longitude and latitude are angles, so it is fitting that they be described in units of angle.
Latitude and longitude represent arcs on the surface of a sphere (the Earth), so they're angles, and they're described in angle units.
Latitude and longitude are angles, and are best expressed in units of angle measurement. Radians and grads would work, but the most commonly used units are degrees, minutes, seconds, and fractions of seconds.
No. Latitude and longitude are angles, and angles have no physical units. So the numbers are the same regardless of what system of units you like.

Latitude and longitude are angles, since they represent arcs on the surface of a sphere (the Earth). Therefore they're described in units of angles.

Latitude and longitude are angles, and are best expressed in units of angle measurement. Those could include radians, grads, etc., but the most commonly used are degrees, minutes, seconds, and fractions of seconds.
A degree of longitude and latitude is further subdivided into minutes and seconds (units of arc, not time).
Latitude and longitude are angles, and are stated in degrees and fractions of degrees.
On a graph, 'x' and 'y' are marked and measured in length or distance units. Latitude and longitude are marked and measured in angles.
The lines aren't measured at all, any more than the marks on a ruler need to be.It's the latitude and longitude that need to be measured, and lines are oftenprinted on maps in order to make the job easier. Latitude and Longitude are angles,so they're described in angle units, most commonly in degrees and fractions of degrees.If you see a line on a map, every point on the 'line' has the same latitude or the samelongitude, so there's nothing on the line to measure.
