Understanding Latitude and Longitude Coordinates in Geographic Contexts

This article explores the fundamental concepts of latitude and longitude, detailing their roles in geographic measurements. Latitude is defined in degrees north or south of the Equator, while longitude is measured in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian. The article emphasizes key markers such as 0°, 90°, and 180° in both hemispheres, providing clarity on how these measurements influence global positioning and mapping. Understanding these coordinates is essential for navigation, geography, and spatial analysis.
