Latitude and length are the coordinates geographical angular that allow form a system of reference to measure and locate any point of the Earth expressed in degrees sexagesimal.Latitude measures any North-South angle between any point and ecuador. The lines of latitude are called parallel.The length measures the angle East-West along the ecuador from any point of the Earth. Length lines are maximum circles that pass through the poles and are called meridians.Combining these two angles you can express and find the position of any point on Earth.
Latitude imaginary line which divides the land into sections ranging from the North Pole to the South Pole, also called circles parallel to the Equator length imaginary lines that divide the land East to West, also called meridians, the zero point or meridian of latitude and longitude GreenwichJuntos form a geographic coordinate system, used as a reference or location in the Earth System.
Measures of location of any point on the surface with respect to the zero Meridian or Greenwich and the Ecuador. The length is the distance, measured on the parallel passing through that point, between the zero Meridian and that point. It may be length East when that point is located within the 180 degrees East of the zero Meridian or longitude East if you're West of the Meridian. Latitude is the distance, measured along the Meridian that passes by that point, between the Equator and that point may be North latitude and latitude South, according to which that point is in the northern hemisphere or in the South. These measures are established in sexagesimal degrees, minutes and seconds. The degrees of latitude ( 41 90; they amount to little more than 111 Km; one minute, more than 1855 m and a second, almost 31 m. The degrees of longitude are variable according to the latitude because the Earth is wider at the equator.
