Latitude and Longitude
The unit of measure used to determine absolute location is degrees and minutes of latitude and longitude. The Earth has 360 degrees at the equator.
what using a longitude and latitude is used to create map showing exact location
Latitude and longitude are coordinates used to pinpoint a specific location on Earth. Latitude measures how far north or south a location is from the equator, while longitude measures how far east or west a location is from the Prime Meridian. By using both latitude and longitude together, you can accurately determine the exact position of a place on Earth's surface.
Longitude and latitude give exact location and you don't need a globe to get it. People like Columbus used an astrolobe and a sextant to determine longitude and latitude.
The axes (latitude and longitude) are used to determine the location of a place or thing on the map.
Absolute location
they are used to tell what your location on the earth is.
Yes, lines of latitude and longitude are used to determine specific locations on the Earth's surface. Lines of latitude run east-west and are used to measure how far north or south a location is from the equator. Lines of longitude run north-south and measure how far east or west a location is from the Prime Meridian.
Degrees.
Latitude and Longitude :)
Latitude and longitude are coordinates used to determine a specific location on Earth's surface. Latitude lines run east-west and measure north-south position, while longitude lines run north-south and measure east-west position. Together, they form a grid system that helps pinpoint exact locations.
