they don't. they divide it into four.
No two points on Earth ... even the places where your two feet are standing ... can have the same latitude and longitude.
The two positions on Earth where both latitude and longitude can be written without any directions are the equator (0 degrees latitude) and the Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude) in Greenwich, England.
Everywhere. Latitude and longitude are systems of measurement on the physical Earth; using two coordinates, we can define any location on the surface of the Earth. They don't have any physical existence.
GPS coordinates are based on latitude and longitude, which are angular measurements that specify a location on the Earth's surface. Latitude measures north-south position, while longitude measures east-west position. By using these two coordinates, GPS devices can pinpoint an exact location on the Earth.
Every point on the surface of the earth has two numbers ... one latitude and onelongitude ... that describe its exact location.
The Earth is divided into four parts based on the intersections of the equator (latitude) and the prime meridian (longitude). These parts are the Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, Eastern Hemisphere, and Western Hemisphere.
Every point on Earth has a latitude and a longitude. No two points have the same set of two numbers.
Any line of longitude (or of latitude, for that matter), that crosses the United States, will divide it in two.

You can find the difference in the values of longitude for the two places. Then divide the difference in longitude by 15, and you will get the number of hours difference.
