List out the properties latitudes and longitude?

Answer 1

Latitude

1. It is an angle measured in degrees with reference to Equator of the Earth towards North or South

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

1. It is an angle measured in degrees with reference to Prime Meridian towards East or West

2. It runs North-South but specifies East West Position of a Point

3. Longitude of:

- Prime Meridian = 00

- 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

5. Every Line of Latitude is a Great Circle

6. Longitude is measure from 00 to 1800

Answer 2

1. Latitudes are measured in degrees north or south of the Equator, ranging from 0° at the Equator to 90° at the poles. Longitude lines are measured in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian, ranging from 0° at the Prime Meridian to 180° both east and west.
2. Latitudes remain constant in distance apart, while longitudes converge at the poles.
3. Latitudes define the north-south position of a point on Earth's surface, while longitudes define the east-west position.
