Latitude and longitude — which one is east and west and which one is north and south?

Question

Dr. Summer Schneider PhD · Accepted Answer

Latitudes, or parallels, are the lines that are north & south. 0° is the Equator, which separ8s the North & South Hemispheres. 90° are the poles. Longitudes, or meridians, are the lines that are west & east. 0° is the Prime Meridian that runs thorough Greenwich, U.K. 180° is opposite of the Prime Meridian in the western Pacific Ocean. Most of the International Date Line runs along the 180th meridian.

Dr. Summer Schneider PhD · Answer

The lines of longitudes crosses from east to west while the lines of latitudes also known as parallels is from north to south of the earth.

Dr. Summer Schneider PhD · Answer

The lines of Longitude run north and south. The lines of Latitude runs east and west. The earth is divided into 8 equal parts. From the equator being 0 degrees, south to north 180 degrees. From north to south 180 degrees. From the time meridian, east to west 180 degrees, from west to east 180 degrees.

On the globe, lines of constant longitude (“meridians”) extend from pole to pole, like the segment boundaries on a peeled orange. On a globe of the Earth, lines of latitude are circles of different size. The longest is the equator, whose latitude is zero, while at the poles–at latitudes 90° north and 90° south (or -90°) the circles shrink to a point.If your still unsure go to Google.com and type in “LONG and LAT”. You will find several good locations to answer the question.

https://shorturl.im/awVKAYou already have the north latitude and and west longitude. There is no equivalent for south and east. It just like (x,y) coordinates in mathematics.

Dr. Summer Schneider PhD · Answer

Longitude are the ones that run north south. I first remembered because all of them are the same length and longer than the higher latitudes.

Dr. Summer Schneider PhD · Answer

latitudes go around the globe flat, their coordinates are either in the north or south hemisphere.Longitude are the lines that go from pole to pole. their coordinates are either east or west depending on which side they are on, the Prime Meridian.
