Longitude can be expressed either in degrees, minutes, and seconds, or simply degrees in decimal, depending on the degree of precision you need.
Examples:
23° 27′ 30" E
23° 27.500′ E
23.45833° E
-- Distance is never expressed in degrees. -- The angle of the arc on the Earth's surface between the Prime Meridian and a location of interest is the location's longitude. It may be expressed in any units of angle.
Latitude is expressed as either north or south of the equator. Longitude is expressed as either east or west of the Prime Meridian. There's no such unit as north longitude. The Galapagos occupy all latitudes between roughly 1.4° south and 0.6° north, and all longitudes between roughly 89.2° and 91.7° west.
"Lank longitude" is not a commonly recognized term in geography or navigation. It’s possible there may be a misunderstanding or typo, as "longitude" refers to the angular measurement on the Earth's surface, expressed in degrees, that specifies the east-west position of a point. If you meant "lank" in a different context or are referring to a specific concept, please provide more details for clarification.
A geographic address is the location of a place described in terms of its geographical coordinates, such as latitude and longitude. It helps to precisely pinpoint a location on the Earth's surface, aiding in navigation and identification.
One example of a crater on Mars located near the equator is the Gale Crater, which is approximately centered at 4.49°S latitude and 137.44°E longitude.
We use latitude and longitude to precisely describe the location of places on the surface of the Earth.
Latitude and longitude are angles, and can be expressed in any unit of angle measure. Degrees are quite popular.
"to water the earth" is a verbal phrase- more precisely an infinitive phrase. It could be expressed as "to irrigate"
One way is to move the adverb: Yang Qing discovered a method to determine longitude precisely. Another way is to convert the adverb to an adjective: Yang Qing discovered a precise method to determine longitude.
absolute location is expressed by longitude and latitude
You could describe lines of longitude as going from side to side, but since the Earth is a sphere (or more precisely, an oblate spheroid) the lines that go from side to side still come together at the poles.
-- Distance is never expressed in degrees. -- The angle of the arc on the Earth's surface between the Prime Meridian and a location of interest is the location's longitude. It may be expressed in any units of angle.
"GB" is not a connection speed. Connection speeds, or more precisely bandwidth, are expressed in bps (bits per second), or some multiple thereof.
There are several countries in Africa through which the equator passes. Longitude would be required to say precisely where you are.
Latitude is expressed as either north or south of the equator. Longitude is expressed as either east or west of the Prime Meridian. There's no such unit as north longitude. The Galapagos occupy all latitudes between roughly 1.4° south and 0.6° north, and all longitudes between roughly 89.2° and 91.7° west.
Brazzaville, the capital of the country of the Republic of the Congo, is located at about 4.3° S latitude and 15.3° E longitude. (More precisely 4° 16′ 0″ S, 15° 17′ 0″ E)
Geographic coordinates, such as latitude and longitude, precisely identify a location on Earth's surface.
