It makes no difference whatsoever.
When coordinates are stated, latitude is commonly stated first. But it really doesn't matter at all.
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.
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.
It does not matter whether you look at the lines of latitude or longitude first. Usually coordinates are written latitude, then longitude. Good luck!
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".
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.
The starting line for measuring latitude is what
lat then long
It is customary to provide latitude first and longitude second when plotting locations. Latitude represents how far north or south a location is from the equator, while longitude represents how far east or west of the prime meridian a location is.
Hipparchus, a Greek astronomer who lived between 190 and 120 BC, was the first person to specify location by using latitude and longitude as coordinates.
Typically, latitude is given first followed by longitude when providing coordinates. Latitude measures the north-south position, while longitude measures east-west.

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.
When giving a position it is usual to give latitude first.

For latitude the sextant, and later for longitude, the marine chronometer.
