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.
The equator is zero latitude.
There are 90 degrees latitude from the equator (zero degrees latitude) to the North Pole.
The latitude of Darwin, Australia is approximately 12.4634° S.
This latitude is zero.
the line 0 degrees latitude is called the
A line of latitude is the line of latitude shown on a map, usually representing 10 degrees latitude. Degrees of latitude are simply the number of degrees, such as 33.33 etc.
The equator is zero latitude.
There are 90 degrees latitude from the equator (zero degrees latitude) to the North Pole.
'Lines' of latitude are often called 'parallels' of latitude.
The latitude of Darwin, Australia is approximately 12.4634° S.
Zero degrees of latitude is the Equator.
This latitude is zero.
the line 0 degrees latitude is called the
Lines of latitude run parallel to the Equator (which is zero latitude).
A line of latitude is the line of latitude shown on a map, usually representing 10 degrees latitude. Degrees of latitude are simply the number of degrees, such as 33.33 etc.
Equator is the longest latitude.
The equator is at 0 latitude.
