What Is It
On
The places on Earth can be located using a coordinate system or
m
geographic coordinate system. A coordinate system or geographic
coordinate system is a method for describing and identifying the position of
ea
a geographic location of a point on the earth’s surface, using spherical
tT
measures of latitude and longitude. These are measures of the angles (in
degrees) from the center of the earth to a point on the earth’s surface. In the
en
geographic coordinate system, the sphere is divided into equal parts called
degrees. Each degree is subdivided into 60 minutes with each minute
composed of 60 seconds.The geographic coordinate system consists of m
op
latitude and longitude lines. Each line of longitude runs north-south and
measures the number of degrees east or west of the prime Meridian. Lines
l
ve
which is an imaginary line running from the North Pole through Greenwich,
England to the South Pole.
db
distance of a point north and south of the equator. The lines of the latitude
run horizontally and it is measured in degrees (00). The equator is zero
es
degree (00) latitude. The lines of the latitude locate places North or South of
aT
the Equator. The North Pole is 90 degrees (900) N Latitude and the South
Pole is 90 degrees (900) S Latitude. Latitude lines are also called parallels
ph
because on a globe, latitude lines never touch each other thus they are
parallel to each other. Longitude alludes to the geographic coordinate which
Al
identifies the distance of a point east and west of the Prime Meridian. The
lines of the longitude run vertically. It is also called Meridians. The Prime
Meridian is found in Greenwich, England. The Prime Meridian is zero
degree (00) longitude. It is the measurement that tells you, how far you are
from east or west of the Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian has 00 and
1800. The International Date Line (IDL) split the earth into Western
