Longitude and latitude are measured accurately using a system of imaginary lines on the Earth's surface. Longitude is measured in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian, while latitude is measured in degrees north or south of the Equator. Special instruments like GPS devices and sextants are used to determine these coordinates with precision.

How a place on the globe is located with the help of a grid?
A place on the globe is located using a grid system based on lines of latitude and longitude. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure distances north or south of the Equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure distances east or west of the Prime Meridian. By identifying the specific coordinates (degrees of latitude and longitude), one can pinpoint any location on Earth accurately. For example, a location at 40°N latitude and 74°W longitude corresponds to New York City.
How is longitude and latitude measured?
Latitude is measured as the angle between the point and the equator, ranging from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. Longitude is measured as the angle between the point and the prime meridian, ranging from 0° to 180° east or west. These measurements help pinpoint a specific location on Earth's surface.
Do you measure north and south on the earth surface by longitude?
No, latitude. Longitude is east and west.
