Unit of measurement for latitude and longitude?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Latitude and longitude are angles, so any unit of angle measure is appropriate.

That could include radians, grads, or degrees, among others.

The geographic coordinates are traditionally and most commonly expressed in

degrees, along with either decimal parts of degrees, or the ancient 'minutes'

and 'seconds' divisions, which are real bears to handle arithmetically.

Where is 104 degrees west longitude and 44 degrees north latitude?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Since the question neglects to specify whether the latitude is 'north' or 'south',

there is an ambiguity between two possible points on earth.

If the latitude is 43 degrees north, then the point is in Mongolia, about

48 miles southwest of Dalandzadgad.

If the latitude is 43 degrees south, then the point is in the Indian Ocean,

about 995 miles southwest of Perth, Australia.
