they are both imaginary lines that run round the earth, to show where a point is on the earths surface.
the unit to show these are degrees.
latitude are lines running across the earth and longitude are lines running down the earth.
an easy way to remember this-
lAtitude goes Across(they both have letter a)
lOngitude does dOwn"(they both have o)
grid lines of longitude and latitude
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
Lines of latitude and longitude allows any position on the Earth to be plotted.
longitude
Lines of latitude and longitude allow a specific point to be located any where on the world.
The Equator
grid lines of longitude and latitude
Longitude are the vertical lines found in a map or globe while latitude are the horizontal lines.
Latitude lines run parallel to the equator and measure a location's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run perpendicular to the equator and measure a location's distance east or west of the prime meridian. Latitude lines are represented by horizontal lines on maps, while longitude lines are represented by vertical lines.
lines of latitude
latitude?
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
Latitude.
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.
Latitude and longitude
The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.
