Latitude and longitude are two of the most important tools used to identify locations on the Earth’s surface. Latitude is a measure of how far north or south from the equator a location lies, while longitude measures how far east or west it is from an imaginary line called the Prime Meridian. Knowing these coordinates can help us find exact geographical points, such as cities, countries and even natural features like mountains and rivers.

Latitudes are measured in degrees with 90° being at either pole (North Pole for north latitude; South Pole for south latitude) while longitudinal measurements range between 0° at Greenwich England to 180° east/west respectively.

Latitudinal lines run horizontally across our planet’s surface while longitudinal lines run vertically up/down its circumference forming circles around it known as meridians that intersect each other at right angles – creating grid-like patterns over its face which can then be used to accurately pinpoint any given spot on earth by using their associated numerical values together with direction indicators like N. (North), E. (East), S. (South) & W. (West).

Overall, understanding latitudinal & longitudinal coordinates helps us navigate our world more effectively – whether we’re looking up directions online or planning out oceanic voyages – due to their precise nature when combined together they make finding places much easier than ever before!

Additionally they also provide valuable insights into global climate patterns since different regions experience varying amounts of sunlight depending on where they fall within this coordinate system making them invaluable tools in many aspects today’s world!
