Aristarchus was the first person to come up with the idea of latitude and longitude. However, his idea was not articulate and other astronomers have improved this idea over the years.

The first person in space was Yuri Gagarin. He came from the USSR (Russia), and he went back there almost immediately.
Where does the warm air come from in a tornado?
The warm air usually originates from a tropical or subtropical latitude, usually from over a warm body of water such as the Gulf of Mexico.
When did the first microscope come out?
in 1519
Who was the first person in the universe?
The first person on Earth was god he created Adam and Eve and therefore there was jesus. Nobody knows exactly where god came from even if they did for ex. god came from the skies! theres another question behind that where did the skies come from ? ex. the skies came from the big bang theory! but where did the big bang theory come from? so there are lots of questions to be asked but nobody knows for sure right now.We are gonna have to wait and see!!! hope this helped -xoxo_Sm3xy_Sh4wt11_xoxo
Did a Greek mathematician come up with longitude and latitude?
YES
Latitude and longitude of south pole?
The south pole is the point at 90 degrees south latitude. It also has every longitude, since all meridians of longitude converge (come together) at the poles.
Where do latitude lines all come together?
They don't. Lines of longitude come together at the North and south Poles.
In simple terms what happens to latitude and longitude at the south pole?
At the actual South Pole, all the meridians of longitude come together, so the pole has no longitude. The south pole is the farthest point south of the equator and is 90° S latitude.
What is the latitude and longitude of the pacific ocean?
The north pole is located at 90 degrees north latitude and every longitude.The meridians of longitude all converge (meet, come together) at the northand south poles.
Where do lines of longitude come together on Earth?
All of the meridians of longitude converge (come together) at the north and south poles.
Is tropic of Capricorn the first line of latitude?
In terms of the importance of the "first line of latitude", the equator has to come first.
Lines running parallel to the equator are called?
You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.
Where do lines of longitude converge (meet)?
-- All lines of longitude meet at the north and south poles. -- No two lines of latitude ever meet or cross each other. -- Every line of longitude crosses every line of latitude. -- Every line of latitude crosses every line of longitude. -- There are an infinite number of each kind, so there are an infinite number of places where a line of longitude crosses a line of latitude. (That's kind of the whole idea of the system.)
Where do the lines of latitude converge which means come to a single point?
Lines of latitude are all parallel to each other, so do not converge. Lines of longitude do converge, at the north and the south poles.
How would knowing your latitude and longitude help you find your way at sea?
Knowing where you are is only one part of getting to where you're going. -- If you know your own latitude and longitude, AND the latitude and longitude of where you want to go, then you can calculate the DIRECTION you need to sail in order to get there by the shortest route, and exactly how far that is. -- If you only know your own latitude and longitude and nothing else, then perhaps the most useful application of that knowledge takes place when you need to radio the Coast Guard and ask them to come out and rescue you. If you can give them that information, then they don't have to hunt for you when they get to the general area.
Where do all longitude lines come together?
All longitudes converge at the north and south poles. To look at it another way,the north pole is located at 90 degrees north latitude and every longitude.
