Latitude and Longitude

Latitude and longitude are essential for navigation and mapping our planet. Latitude lines are horizontal, running east and west, indicating how far north or south a location is from the equator, which is 0° latitude. These lines range from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. Longitude lines, on the other hand, are vertical, running from the north to the south pole. The Prime Meridian, located at 0° longitude, passes through Greenwich, England, and also divides the Earth into two hemispheres. Understanding these concepts is crucial for geolocation and geography education.
