What are the directions of latitude and longitude?
Latitude and longitude are measured in degrees and also have a direction. Latitude goes from 0 degrees (the equator) to 90 degrees (the north or south pole) and is either north or south of the equator. Longitude goes from 0 degrees (the Prime Meridian ) to 180 degrees (the international date line ) and is east or west of the Prime Meridian.
Were does latitude and longitude start?
Latitude starts at the equator and longitude starts at the Prime Meridian. By convention, the Prime Meridian, which passes through the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, England, was intended to establish the position of zero degrees longitude.
Do you look at longitude or latitude first?
When you see a pair of coordinates and can’t remember whether latitude or longitude comes first, think about alphabetical order to remember. Latitude comes first in alphabetical order and it also is the first coordinate in a set. Longitude is the second coordinate in the set.
Is the Antarctic Circle a line of latitude?
Antarctic Circle, parallel, or line of latitude around the Earth, at 66°30′ S. Because the Earth’s axis is inclined about 23.5° from the vertical, this parallel marks the northern limit of the area within which, for one day or more each year, at the summer and winter solstices, the Sun does not set (December 21 or 22) or rise (June 21 or 22).
