2. The Latitude runs East-West but specifies North South position of a point.
3. Latitude of:
- Equator = 00
- North Pole = 900N or +900
- South Pole = 900S or -900
4. Each Latitude is parallel to other latitude, therefore, it is also called Parallel
5. Only one latitude having max dia passes through the equator that's why the equator is known as the Great Circle which theoretically bisects the earth into Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere
6. Latitude in measure from 00 to 900
Longitude

- East = 900E or +900
- West = 900W or -900
4. It is also known as meridian. No meridian is parallel to other rather all longitudes converge to North Pole and South Pole
