Yeahh. You always do latitude, then longitude. =)
Latitude is given first, followed by longitude. For example, the coordinates for London, England is 51.5074° North Latitude, 0.1278° West Longitude.
It does not matter whether you look at the lines of latitude or longitude first. Usually coordinates are written latitude, then longitude. Good luck!
Latitude is more often given first. But it really doesn't matter, just as long as the coordinates are clearly identified.
To locate places on a map using latitude and longitude, we first need to understand that latitude lines run horizontally and measure how far north or south a place is from the equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure how far east or west a place is from the Prime Meridian. Each location is given a set of coordinates, like (latitude, longitude). For example, if we have the coordinates 40° N, 74° W, we find 40° N on the latitude lines and then move to 74° W on the longitude lines to pinpoint the exact location. Kids can use these coordinates to find cities, landmarks, or even their own homes on a map!
The Mississippi River runs through multiple states, so its latitude and longitude vary. However, the approximate coordinates of the mouth of the Mississippi River are around 29.5° N latitude and 89.3° W longitude.

As Sweden is a country and occupies a significant area, no single latitude and longitude coordinates can be given.

It isn't. The coordinates of a point may be given in either order, as long as it's clearly identified which one is latitude and which one is longitude.
Latitude comes first when specifying coordinates, followed by longitude. Latitude refers to how far north or south a point is from the Equator, while longitude indicates how far east or west a point is from the Prime Meridian.

The starting line for measuring latitude is what
The system of latitude and longitude is used to describe the location of points on the surface of the earth. Celestial objects don't have latitude and longitude. There is a similar system defined in the sky. Those coordinates are called Right Ascension and Declination.
They are the celestial equivalent of longitude and latitude. If you are given the RSA and Dec of an object, you will be able dot find it on a chart. Or if you have a telescope that is computerised, you can input the coordinates and the telescope should go there automatically.
The lines of latitude and longitude form an imaginary mesh encasing the World. Any point or country can be pinpointed by using these lines together. For instance, the coordinates of the Tower of London, England is given as Latitude 51.5081° North, Longitude 0.0759° West.
