Geographic coordinates use positive and negative values to specify positions in relation to the Equator and the Prime Meridian. Locations north of the Equator and east of the Prime Meridian are marked with positive values. Conversely, positions that are south of the Equator or west of the Prime ...
Longitudes are geographical positioning markers that run from the geographical North Pole to the geographical South Pole, intersecting the equator. They meet at both poles and specify the east-west position of a location. On a map where north is up, longitudes run vertically. Longitudes are, t...
Unlike latitudes, which run parallel to the equator, the vertical longitude lines or imaginary circles run in a north-south direction and, therefore, intersect with the equator. One-half of a longitudinal circle is known as ameridian. Meridians are perpendicular to the equator and to every latit...
In geography, latitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the north–south position of a point on the Earth's surface. Latitude is an angle which ranges from 0° at the Equator to 90° at the poles. Lines of constant latitude, or parallels, run east–west as circles parallel to th...
