How can we locate places on the map with the help of latitude and longitude for kids?

To locate places on a map using latitude and longitude, we first need to understand that latitude lines run horizontally and measure how far north or south a place is from the equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure how far east or west a place is from the Prime Meridian. Each location is given a set of coordinates, like (latitude, longitude). For example, if we have the coordinates 40° N, 74° W, we find 40° N on the latitude lines and then move to 74° W on the longitude lines to pinpoint the exact location. Kids can use these coordinates to find cities, landmarks, or even their own homes on a map!
