Latitude and longitude definition

Latitude and longitude are the combined names of longitude and latitude, which form a coordinate system. Known as the geographical coordinate system, it is a spherical coordinate system that uses the sphere of three-dimensional space to define the space on the earth, and can mark any position on the earth.

Latitude and longitude scale

Longitude 1

The longitude is divided into 360 degrees, and there are 1 time zones every 15 degrees, where 0 degree is called the prime meridian, which is the first place to enter a new day, and then every 1 time zone difference to the west is 1 hour. For example, it's 5: 00 a.m., so one time zone in the west is 4: 00 a.m., and the other time zone 1 is 3: 00 a.m., and so on, and the east is just the opposite, all the way to the prime meridian, which means that the difference between the two sides of the prime meridian is just 23 hours.

From the equator to the second level, the latitude is getting higher and higher. The equator is the dividing line between the northern and southern hemispheres.

2. Latitude

The equatorial latitude is 0, which divides the earth into the southern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere.

Latitude refers to the line-plane angle between a point and the center of the earth and the equatorial plane of the earth, and its value is between 0 and 90 degrees. The latitude of the point located north of the equator is called north latitude, which is denoted by n, and the latitude of the point located south of the equator is called south latitude, which is denoted by s.

Areas with latitudes between 0 and 30 degrees are called low latitudes, areas with latitudes between 30 and 60 degrees are called middle latitudes, and areas with latitudes between 60 and 90 degrees are called high latitudes.

Equator, Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Cancer, Antarctic Circle and Arctic Circle are special parallels.
