Number of degrees North/South and number of degrees East/West.
Latitude is north or south; longitude is east or west. Looks like the labels were transposed. 60S 130E is well south of Australia, about 3/4 of the way from Adelaide to Antarctica.
Sadly, I can't read the Russian labels on the many landmarks in the city, so I can't give you any more precise coordinates than the spot where my map decided to place the red blob to represent the location of Novomyrhorod, Kirovohrads'ka, Ukraine: 48.7833° north latitude 31.6500° east longitude.
They're not. If 'S' and 'E' are the only labels you see, then you're only looking at 1/4 of the earth, or less. For every south latitude, there's also a north latitude with the same number, and for every east longitude, there's also a west longitude with the same number. You should turn your globe, or turn to another page in your book of maps. A whole new 3/4 of a world awaits you.

Oh, dude, that's an easy one. When lines of latitude and longitude intersect, it's called a coordinate or a point. So, like, when you're looking for a specific location on a map, you use those coordinates to pinpoint where you need to go. It's like playing a giant game of Battleship, but with real places.
no
Other labels were suggested for those place-coordinates. One after another, the forms were filled out and submitted, and rejected and returned by the authorities. "Temperature", "color", "altitude", "beauty", "fortitude", "voltage", "amplitude", and "steadfastness" were all taken, and it was finally necessary to settle for "latitude" and "longitude", although they were far from the first choices, and everybody in the nautical business would have much preferred words with more pzazz.
Roughly the same way you 'do' the corner of 30th Avenue and 100th Street. If you want to find the place, you either have to be there and read the street signs, or else you have to find it on a map that has the names of the streets printed on it. Either way, things have to be marked. It's really tough to find a place by the numbers if there are no labels. The Earth has no labels on it. So, even if you're there at some latitude and longitude, you usually don't know it. In order to find a certain spot, you need a map that has latitudes and longitudes printed on it. Then, you look left and right on the map until you find the longitude you want, and then you stay on that line and look up and down for the latitude you want. Eventually, you come to a point where they cross, and that's the spot you're looking for that has exactly those numbers. If you're looking for 30N and 100W, then your spot is 12.4 miles east of Rocksprings, Texas.
column labels
For exactly the same reason that imaginary labels such as "Mulberry Street" and "416 South" are used. Their purpose is to facilitate the description of locations ... for the convenience of both the people who are already there and wish to describe their whereabouts, and the people who are presently elsewhere who wish to journey to that place. Note that 'latitude' and 'longitude' are not lines. They are angles. If you mark a million different points on the Earth's surface that ALL have the same latitude, or all have the same longitude, THEN the points begin to resemble a line.
