what is the difference between lattitude and longitude?

Question

on the basis of geography.....

Answer 1

latitude and longitude are descriptions for the axis of the earth. latitude coordinates denote a location north or south of the equator. longitude denotes location east or west from the prime meridian.

Answer 2

Lattitude runs East/West, while Longitude runs North/South

Answer 3

Well dear, longitude is a measure of arc vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole. Latitude is a measure of arc (horizontal) that circumnavigates the world.

Answer 4

Latitude goes around the earth parallel to the equator (zero). Longitude goes around and intersect at the north and south poles (north south)

Answer 5

Latitude refers to the coordinate lines which run laterally, or from left to right around the globe. Longitude lines run through the poles and around the earth "from top to bottom", as it were. GPS coordinates are formed from the intersection of a longitudinal line and a line of latitude, both of which are measured in Degrees.

Answer 6

One goes up and down, the other goes back and forth. I cannot think of any basis other than geography as to which you would ask this (alleged) question.

Answer 7

Your first answer was correct.
