A set of latitude/longitude coordinates describes a single point. But Key Largo

and Key West are almost 100 miles apart on US-1, so it's not possible for the

entire chain to have the same coordinates.

The intersection of the Overseas Highway (US-1) and 36th St in Marathon FL ...

roughly half way between Key Largo and Key West ... is located at

24.7119° north latitude

81.0916° west longitude.

Other spots in the Keys have somewhat different coordinates.

In which year was latitude and longitude invented?

Latitude and longitude have been used for centuries for navigation, but the modern system we use today was standardized in the 18th century. The modern concept of latitude and longitude as we know it today was refined by the English mathematician and astronomer Sir George Airy in the mid-19th century.


Is the highest degree of measurement latitude or longitude?

longitude ranges from -180° to to +180°. 0° being the prime meridian at Greenwich UK. East being the positive and west the negative degrees. latitude goes from -90° in the south, to +90° in th north, 0° being at the equator. So if the question is which has the largest range longitude has the largest range. (360°) not sure if that was what you asked for, but .


Does lines of latitude run in a no r th-south or east-west direction?

'Lines' of latitude remain where they are at and do not run. Since every point on the same parallel of latitude is at the same north or south latitude, the only directions left for it to extend in length are east and west.


Longitutde and latitude are measured in?

Longitude and Latitude are measured in degrees of angle. These degrees are subdivided into 'minutes(')' and 'minutes' are further subdivided into 'seconds(")'. When using the full coordinate system you can locate an object to within yards/metres on the Earth's surface. One degree = 1 nautical mile (slightly longer than a land mile). Each degree is divided into 60 minutes or 1 nautical mile. Each minuite is divided into 60 seconds or 1/60 th of a nautical mile. As an example, if we take Times Square, New York, USA. it coordinate location is 40o 45' 27" N 73o 59' 9" W In words, ' Forty degrees, fort five minutes twenty seven seconds North, Seventy three degrees fifty ninw minutes nine seconds West'. The degrees of angle is set arbitrarily, by mankind. Zero degrees(0o) of Latitude being the Equator, there by 90o N / S is the North / South Pole Zero (0o) degrees of Longitude(Meridian) being the Greenwich meridian in London England. It opposite meridan is 180o , which is a meridian from the North Pole to the South Pole through the Pacific Ocean, and the International Date Line is co-linear for most of its length.
