For the same reason there are numbers on the front doors of houses.

The system of latitude and longitude angles gives every point on Earth an 'address'

of two numbers. They tell exactly where the spot is, and make it possible to find

that exact spot, even if there's nothing there, and nothing but water for a thousand

miles around it in every direction.
