Is north longitude or latitude

Latitude is measured north or south of the equator. The lines of latitude are called parallels and circle the globe from east to west.

Longitude is measured from the arbitrary Greenwich meridian and is marked by the lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole.

Answer 2

Longitude runs from north-to-south, whilst latitude runs from east-to-west.

"North" refers to latitude, which measures the distance north or south of the equator. Longitude, on the other hand, measures the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian.
