Latitude is measured and stated in degrees north or south of the equator.

Longitude is measured and stated in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian.

If you give me numbers that are accurately measured and clearly stated, I can hit

that exact spot, within a few inches, anywhere on the earth.

What are the three units of measure in which latitude and longitude are given?

Latitude and longitude are typically given in degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). These units are used to specify locations on the Earth's surface in terms of their angular distance north or south of the equator (latitude) and east or west of the prime meridian (longitude).


What capital city is located 59 degrees north latitude and 18 degrees east longitude in north America?

The co-ordinates you have given refer to Stockholm, the capital of Sweden (which of course is nowhere near North America).


Where is 32 degrees est latitude and 45 degrees north longitude?

First of all, the question as given is pretty ambiguous. "Latitude" is measured and stated as "north" or "south", never "east". Longitude is measured and stated "east" or "west", never "north". The point [ 32 degrees east longitude, 45 degrees north latitude ] is out in the middle of the Black Sea, about 120 miles southeast of Odessa and 80 miles northwest of Savastopol ... both in Ukraine ... and about 240 miles north of Zonguldak, Turkey. But we really can't be sure that this is the point to which the question refers.


When given latitude and longitude coordinates which is given first?

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.


Where is 0 degree and 50 degrees North?

Locations on the earth are conventionally given where line of longitude (east or west of Greenwich meridian which is 0 degrees)Meets line of latitude (north or south of the equator, which is 0 degrees)So 0 degrees (longitude), 50 degrees north (latitude):According to my world map, thats in the english channel, near Le Havre , Haute - Normandie, France.

What comes first longitude or latitude?

Latitude comes first when specifying coordinates, followed by longitude. Latitude refers to how far north or south a point is from the Equator, while longitude indicates how far east or west a point is from the Prime Meridian.


Is 45 degrees an example of latitude or longitude?

depends on how it is used. Earth coordinates would be given in at least two numbers - one for latitude and one for longitude. Additionally, each number is usually given in "Degrees, minutes and seconds" such as Lat: 36 13.50 (North), Long: -115 24.59 (West.)

How many degrees are north and south of a line of longitude?

There are 90° of latitude north and 90° of latitude south of the equator. So for any given longitude, you have 180 possible latitude degrees. It is important to note that latitudes are a constant distance apart (about 69 miles or 111 km per degree) while longitudinal lines get closer together as they near the poles.
