Every time you move east or west, even an inch or less, your longitude changes.
Latitude: East-west Longitude: North-south
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
360° of longitude divided by 24 time zones gives 15° per time zone (average)
If you travel along a line of longitude from the South Pole, you would travel directly northwards.
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
Latitude: East-west Longitude: North-south
As you travel west on a map, the longitude decreases. Longitude lines are measured in degrees, with the Prime Meridian at 0° longitude. Moving westward, each degree of longitude represents a movement from 0° toward 180°, resulting in negative values in the Western Hemisphere. For example, moving from 0° to 30° west means a change from 0° to -30° longitude.

France is 80 n latitude 140 w longitude
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
360° of longitude divided by 24 time zones gives 15° per time zone (average)
If you travel all the way around the earth without touching the north or south pole, then you travel through 360 degrees of longitude. They're labeled (zero -- 180) east and (zero -- 180) west.
If you travel along a line of longitude from the South Pole, you would travel directly northwards.
0degrees n. Latitude, 0 degrees Longitude
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
You would travel south. The latitude is changing from 32 N to 30 N, which means you are moving towards the equator. The longitude remains the same, so the direction of travel is predominantly south.
