Longatide does not exist. But longitude are the imaginary lines that run north

and south around the globe while latitude circles the globe east to west. the

Equator is at 0 latitude and the prime meridian or Greenwich meridian is at 0

longitude and runs through Greenwich England. They are used to chart places on

earth (maps) in a standard format.

=======================================

Answer #2:

Longitude and latitude are not lines, any more than length is a bunch of short

scratches on rulers.

Longitude and latitude are angles on the Earth's surface, between zero reference

positions and the place whose location is to be described.

Longitude is the angle, east or west, between the place and the Prime Meridian.

Latitude is the angle, north or south, between the place and the equator.

Again, neither of these things is lines.
