Niagara Falls is located at approximately 43.0802° N latitude and 79.0710° W longitude.
Is latitude the vertical line or horizontal?
Lines of latitude run east-west as circles parallel (or horizontal lines) to the equator. Latitude measures the angle in degrees north or south from the equator where the equator is located at 0 degrees.
Is longitude horizontal?
Lines of longitude are vertical but they measure horizontal distance(In degrees,not kilometers or miles)between Greenwich Mean Time(GMT) and you so the lines are vertical,not horizontal. However,longitude measures horizontal distance,not vertical distance.
How is longitude and latitude measured?
Latitude is measured as the angle between the point and the equator, ranging from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. Longitude is measured as the angle between the point and the prime meridian, ranging from 0° to 180° east or west. These measurements help pinpoint a specific location on Earth's surface.
