Even before filling in the blank, we can tell you that the resulting statement would be untrue.
While it may well be true that longitude is traditionally listed last, it's not a hard and fast rule,
and no harm comes from listing it first. As long as latitude and longitude are clearly identified
to avoid any confusion, they may be listed in either order.
its always listed first!
The starting line for measuring latitude is what
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.

The line of longitude directly opposite 60 degrees west is 120 degrees east. Opposite longitudes are always 180 degrees apart on the globe.
Victoria Island, Canada. Same as always.
It makes no difference which coordinate is stated first or last, just so long as you clearly indicate which is which.
Latitude and longitude are angles. So any unit of angle will work.Examples include radians, grads, degrees, etc.Mostly on account of seafaring tradition and the history of navigation, thesecoordinates are still almost always listed and stated in degrees (and fractionsof degrees, like decimals, or minutes and seconds).
It keeps changing, but it's always 6 hours later than UT.
Yes, because lines of longitude converge at the poles. The distance between longitude lines will always decrease the further you are from the equator. Lines of latitude remain equidistant.This is why no map is always accurate. Think of peeling an orange and try laying it flat on the table.
The longitude of the Greenwich Royal Observatory is always 0 degrees.
The same as the total number of different lengths that can be measured on a3-foot ruler. If you name two longitudes, then no matter how close togetherthey are, I can always name another longitude that's in between yours. Sothere's no limit to the number of different longitudes that we can name.
