Yes. The intersection of a line of longitude and a line of latitude is a point on the globe, and that point is identified by the longitude and latitude of those lines.

What is the latitude and longitude of mars?

"Longitude" and "latitude" are the coordinates used primarily in the system of locating points on the earth's surface. Even when that generalization doesn't hold, they're only applicable to the location of points on the surface of another sphere. There's no way to use that kind of system to locate a planet.


What advantages do latitude and longitude have over alpha numeric grid references?

Latitude and longitude provide a universal system for locating points on the Earth's surface, allowing for global consistency and easier communication of location information. Alpha numeric grid references are often more local or specific to a certain map or region, making them less universal and harder to translate between different systems. Additionally, latitude and longitude provide continuous coordinates, allowing for precise pinpointing of locations, whereas alpha numeric grid references are more discrete and limited in their accuracy.


Are latitude lines called meridian?

Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.


What do latitude and longitude lines represent?

-- Each meridian ( 'line' ) of longitude represents all of the infinite number of points on the Earth's surface that have that one specific longitude. -- Each parallel ( 'line' ) of latitude represents all of the infinite number of points on the Earth's surface that have that one specific latitude.


What city in the US has the same latitude and longitude as Pyongyang?

No two points on Earth ... even the places where your two feet are standing ... can have the same latitude and longitude.

What is the pattern of lines that circle the globe east-west and north-south called?

The pattern of lines that circle the globe east-west are called lines of latitude, while the lines that circle the globe north-south are called lines of longitude. Together, they form a grid system that helps in locating points on the Earth's surface.

A network of lines used for locating points?

A network of lines used for locating points is called a coordinate system. Coordinate systems provide a reference framework that allows us to precisely define the position of points in space. Common examples include Cartesian coordinates (x, y), polar coordinates (r, θ), and geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude).
