Latitude and longitude are angles measured along the surface of the Earth,
in order to exactly describe the location of any point on Earth.
Latitude is the angle, north or south, between the starting line for latitude and
the place you're describing.
The starting line for latitude is the imaginary line around the middle of the Earth,
exactly half way between the north and south poles. The line is called the "equator".
Longitude is the angle, east or west, between the starting line for longitude and
the place you're describing.
The starting line for longitude is the imaginary line between the north and south poles
that passes through a certain place in a certain suburb of London. The line is called
the "Prime Meridian".
The latitude and longitude are located on maps of the earth. You can find any point on a map of the earth using its latitude and longitude. For example, I found that the latitude and longitude of First Street and Main Street in downtown Los Angeles are 34.052187 latitude and -118.243425 longitude at the website below: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html
Most near-Earth orbit satellites zip around the world every 90 minutes or so, and are constantly moving. There's a Javascript application on the NASA web site that will display the real-time positions of a few hundred of the more important satellites. Check the link below.
The only satellites that remain in one place are geosynchronous satellites in orbits about 22,300 miles up; at that altitude, the satellite orbits the Earth in 24 hours, which happens to be the same time that it takes the Earth to rotate. So GEO (geosynchronous Earth orbit) satellites appear to remain still in the sky. This trick only works at the equator, and is commonly used to communications satellites.
latitude and longitude can find an exact spot on a map
Latitude and longitude are the numbers used to describe the location
of any place. Every point on Earth has a different pair of them.
You find the lines of latitude and longitude and find the place that they intersect, which is your location.
you find a location with latitude and longitude. longitude is east and West.
Longitude: 0° 0' 0"Latitude: 47° 37' 13"
Latitude and longitude are used to find the degrees horizontally and vertically around the earth, pin-pointing a location.
If you know the latitude and longitude of the island you can pinpoint its location on the map.
You find the lines of latitude and longitude and find the place that they intersect, which is your location.
You find latitude by finding the place on the map and see what line it is between or on. The same with longitude. You can also find the latitude and longitude of an address using Google maps.
you find a location with latitude and longitude. longitude is east and West.
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.
