• The latitudes and longitudes are the geographical coordinates that provide a systematic network of lines upon which the position of various surface features of the earth, can be represented.
• The location, distance, and direction of various points on earth can be easily determined with the help of these coordinates.
• These are measured in degrees (°) because they represent angular distances.
• Each degree is further divided into 60 minutes ( ‘ ) and each minute into 60 seconds ( “ ).
