For the same reason you count the number of people who are standing in a line: it doesn't make a bit of difference how tall the people are if you want to describe how far a person is standing from one end. By the way, Latitudes run east and west. Longitudes run north and south.
What else can I help you with?
Does latitude run north to south or east to west?
latitude runs East to west. Longitude runs north to south. In other words, the lines of latitude are measured in degrees north and south of the equator and lines of longitude are measured in degrees east and west of the prime meridian.
Is latitude from east to west?
Lines of latitude run from east to west and measure the degrees north or south of the equator.
What are the degrees latitude western?
Latitude is measured in degrees North and South from the North to South poles. Longitude is measured in degrees East and West starting with 0 at Greenwich, England.
Is north longitude or latitude?
Latitude is measured north or south of the equator. The lines of latitude are called parallels and circle the globe from east to west.Longitude is measured from the arbitrary Greenwich meridian and is marked by the lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole.
How latitudes are measured?
Latitudes are measured in degrees north or south of the equator, which is 0 degrees latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees north latitude, while the South Pole is at 90 degrees south latitude. Lines of latitude run east-west and are parallel to the equator.
Does latitude run north to south or east to west?
latitude runs East to west. Longitude runs north to south. In other words, the lines of latitude are measured in degrees north and south of the equator and lines of longitude are measured in degrees east and west of the prime meridian.
Latitude is the east and west from the prime meridian?
No. Latitude is an angle measured north or south of the equator.
Is latitude from east to west?
Lines of latitude run from east to west and measure the degrees north or south of the equator.
What are the degrees latitude western?
Latitude is measured in degrees North and South from the North to South poles. Longitude is measured in degrees East and West starting with 0 at Greenwich, England.
Is north longitude or latitude?

Latitude and longitude is measured in what?
latitude is degrees north or south of the equator and Longitude is degrees east or west of Greenwich
Is there a poem to help remember longitude and Latitude lines?
Lines of latitude Have flatitude. Longitudinal lines Rise like porcupines.
What are latitude and longitude measured in?
Latitude and longitude are measured in degrees, with latitude representing north-south position and longitude representing east-west position on the Earth's surface.
Is latitude form north and south?
Yes, latitude is a measure of how far north or south a location is from the equator. It is measured in degrees and ranges from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles.
Does latitude have to be measured straight north or south from the equator?
It does. It is the plane angle, measured at the centre of the earth, between the given position and the equator due south or north of that position. The third dimention is not necessary until longitude is added.
Latitude is measured north and south from the?
latitude runs north to south and longitude runs to east to west so dont get it mix up
