Longitude is distance east or west of the prime meridian (a line running from north to south through Greenwich, England).
Latitude is an angle which ranges from 0° at the Equator to 90° (North or South) at the poles. Lines of constant latitude, or parallels, run east–west as circles parallel to the equator. .
Latitude is used together with longitude to specify the precise location of features on the surface of the Earth.
