Latitude is defined as a measurement of distance in degrees north and south of the equator . The word latitude is derived from the Latin word, “latus”, meaning “wide.” There are 90 degrees of latitude from the equator to each of the poles, north and south. Latitude lines are parallel, that is they are the same distance apart. These lines are sometimes referred to as parallels.
Longitude is defined as measurement of distance in degrees east or west of the prime meridian. The word longitude is derived from the Latin word, “longus”, meaning “length.” The Prime Meridian, as do all other lines of longitude, pass through the north and south pole. They make the earth look like a peeled orange.
