Degrees, minutes, and seconds.
===============================
Answer #2:
Latitude and longitude are angles, so any unit in which angles are measured is
a perfectly good unit to describe latitude and longitude.
Units of angular measure include radians, grads, and degrees. Geographic
coordinates are most often, indeed almost universally, expressed in degrees.
Also, since a degree of latitude or longitude is quite a significant distance on
the Earth's surface, it's necessary to be able to indicate fractions of a degree ...
most often as a decimal part, or with the clunky "minutes/seconds" subdivisions.

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).
How is a degree of longitude further subdivided?
A degree of longitude and latitude is further subdivided into minutes and seconds (units of arc, not time).
What is the latitude and longitude of. At the nearest degree include the correct units and compass directions in your answer?
To provide the latitude and longitude, please specify the location you are interested in. Without that information, I cannot give you the coordinates.

Is longitude measured in degrees?
The lines aren't measured at all, any more than the marks on a ruler need to be.It's the latitude and longitude that need to be measured, and lines are oftenprinted on maps in order to make the job easier. Latitude and Longitude are angles,so they're described in angle units, most commonly in degrees and fractions of degrees.If you see a line on a map, every point on the 'line' has the same latitude or the samelongitude, so there's nothing on the line to measure.
Is there a metric version of longitude and latitude?
No. Latitude and longitude are angles, and angles have no physical units. So the numbers are the same regardless of what system of units you like.
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 is the latitude and longitude in degrees of?
Latitude and longitude are angles, since they represent arcs on the surface of a sphere (the Earth). Therefore they're described in units of angles.
What are the individual units of latitude or longitude?
Latitude and longitude are angles, so any unit in which angles are measured is a perfectly good unit to describe latitude and longitude. Units of angular measure include radians, grads, degrees, and others. Geographic coordinates are most often, indeed almost universally, expressed in degrees. Also, since a degree of latitude or longitude is quite a significant distance on the Earth's surface, it's necessary to be able to indicate fractions of a degree ... most often done as a decimal part, or with the clunky "minutes/seconds" subdivisions.
How is a degree of longitude further subdivided?
A degree of longitude and latitude is further subdivided into minutes and seconds (units of arc, not time).
How is the latitude and longitude system different to the x and y coordinates on a graph?
On a graph, 'x' and 'y' are marked and measured in length or distance units. Latitude and longitude are marked and measured in angles.
What is the latitude and longitude of. At the nearest degree include the correct units and compass directions in your answer?
To provide the latitude and longitude, please specify the location you are interested in. Without that information, I cannot give you the coordinates.
