It makes no difference whatsoever.

When coordinates are stated, latitude is commonly stated first. But it really doesn't matter at all.

When given latitude and longitude coordinates which is given first?

Typically, latitude is given first followed by longitude when providing coordinates. Latitude measures the north-south position, while longitude measures east-west. So the order is latitude, longitude. For example, 40.7128° N, 74.0060° W represents the latitude and longitude coordinates for New York City.


When given the location of a place on the globe which do you list first latitude or longeitude?

We typically list the latitude first, but some computer applications prompt you to enter the longitude first. In realty, it doesn't really make much difference.


Do you look at the lines of latitude or the lines of longitude first when you are finding the coordinates?

It does not matter whether you look at the lines of latitude or longitude first. Usually coordinates are written latitude, then longitude. Good luck!


What can latitude and longitude find?

Latitude and longitude are angles measured along the surface of the Earth, in order to exactly describe the location of any point on Earth. Latitude is the angle, north or south, between the starting line for latitude and the place you're describing. The starting line for latitude is the imaginary line around the middle of the Earth, exactly half way between the north and south poles. The line is called the "equator". Longitude is the angle, east or west, between the starting line for longitude and the place you're describing. The starting line for longitude is the imaginary line between the north and south poles that passes through a certain place in a certain suburb of London. The line is called the "Prime Meridian".


Help with longitude and latitude?

Well, what exactly do you need to know? Latitude is up and down (North and South) , and longitude is side to side (East to West). Just think of latitude fatitude for side to side, and LONGitude, for up and down. Latitude comes first.
