The location of a place can be given by its latitude and longitude. Lines of latitude (sometime called parallels of latitude) are lines that are horizontal and encircle the Earth running parallel to the North or South of the Equator.
For example, the latitude of the Equator is zero degrees (o).
The coordinates of London, England is 51.5074° N, 0.1278° W
The coordinates of Washington DC, USA is 38.9072° N, 77.0369° W
The coordinates of Antarctica is 82.8628° S, 135.0000° E
