Latitude and longitude are similar to large cities having streets running in one direction (e.g., East-West) and avenues running parallel (e.g., North-South) such that if you know a street number and avenue intersection you can find any places relative to any intersection (e.g. 5th Avenue and East 75th Street). Latitude and longitude use the same concept such that knowing the coordinates can locate any point on the planet. Latitude and longitude is easier than streets and avenues because latitude and longitude is consistent across the planet, while streets and avenues are not. In addition, you can add decimal places to the coordinates to get a more precise location down to a single point plus or minus a centimeter or smaller.
What else can I help you with?
Was it easy or difficult to use latitude and longitude to find the cities on the map?
It can be easy to use latitude and longitude to find cities on a map if you are familiar with geographic coordinates. However, if you are not accustomed to using latitude and longitude, it may take some time to get used to. Practice and familiarity with the coordinates will make it easier over time.
What is more difficult to determine longitude or latitude?
longitude is easy latitude does not give a hint in the word
What technologies use latitude and longitude?
Geography is the main science and technology in longitude and latitude.
Can you use longitude in a question?
What is the difference between longitude and latitude? Given it's longitude and latitude, can you locate the area?
How can you use the longitude and latitude lines?
We use latitude and longitude to precisely describe the location of places on the surface of the Earth.
Why would you use longitude and latitude when looking at a map?
We use longitude and latitude when looking at a map to calculate time.
Is California longitude or latitude?
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.
What word means nearly the opposite of longitude?
that's easy. Latitude!
Why would you use lines of latitude and longitude?
Lines of latitude and longitude allows any position on the Earth to be plotted.
How do you use longitude and latitude to find a location?
You find the lines of latitude and longitude and find the place that they intersect, which is your location.
Why is it easy to use the latitude and longitude to find the cities map?
The pattern formed by lines of latitude and longitude is very much like a grid, except that the lines of longitude converge at the north and south poles. Therefore, saying that a certain city is at 40° north latitude and 105° west longitude is similar to saying that a certain student is at the 5th desk of the 4th row (for example).
When can you use latitude and longitude coordinate?
on a map
