There are 50 states in the United States, and each state is partially defined by its specific longitude and latitude coordinates. Longitude lines run north-south and measure the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, while latitude lines run east-west and measure the distance north or south of the Equator. These coordinates help establish the precise location and boundaries of each state.
The Southern Ocean doesn't have a specific, fixed longitude as its boundaries are defined by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, which is at approximately 60 degrees south latitude.
Lines of latitude and longitude are most important in determining state borders in the western region of the US, where states are often more geometrically shaped and boundaries are defined by specific lines of latitude and longitude.
The equator is a latitude line, so it has no specific longitude. The equator is at 0o north or south. There are many points on the equator, so every point on the equator has a different longitude.
The equator is defined as zero latitude, and it crosses all longitudes. The Prime Meridian is defined as zero longitude, and it crosses all latitudes.

Any location on the surface of the earth can be defined with a latitude and a longitude. That's what they're for.
The Southern Ocean doesn't have a specific, fixed longitude as its boundaries are defined by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, which is at approximately 60 degrees south latitude.
The equator is defined as the zero reference line of latitude.
Lines of latitude and longitude are most important in determining state borders in the western region of the US, where states are often more geometrically shaped and boundaries are defined by specific lines of latitude and longitude.
The equator is a latitude line, so it has no specific longitude. The equator is at 0o north or south. There are many points on the equator, so every point on the equator has a different longitude.
The lines of latitude provide vertical (north-south) coordinates on a map or globe. Lines of longitude provide horizontal (east-west) coordinates. The defined geographical point is where the latitude line intersects the longitude line.
The equator is defined as zero latitude, and it crosses all longitudes. The Prime Meridian is defined as zero longitude, and it crosses all latitudes.
If you use longitude and latitude you can find a location easily on the globe.
The longest parallel of latitude is the one defined as 'zero degrees', known as the "Equator". All meridians of longitude have the same length ... 1/2 of the earth's polar circumference.
Florida's geometric boundaries are defined primarily by its shape and the lines of latitude and longitude that enclose the state. The state is roughly shaped like a peninsula, bordered by the Gulf of Mexico to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Its northern boundary is marked by a straight line that separates it from Alabama and Georgia. The geographic coordinates approximate its borders, with the state extending from about 24.3963° N to 31.0002° N latitude and from 80.0314° W to 87.6349° W longitude.
