Latitude and longitude are a system of lines used to describe the location of any place on Earth.
Lines of latitude (also called parallels) circle Earth parallel to the Equator. The Equator is an imaginary line that lies halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole. It runs east-west all the way around Earth. Lines of latitude describe positions north and south of the Equator.
Lines of longitude run between the North Pole and the South Pole. These lines are also called meridians. Like lines of latitude, meridians are measured in degrees, minutes, and seconds.
