Generation

Latitude and longitude are coordinates that work like a global address system for locating any point on Earth. **Latitude** measures how far north or south you are from the equator (0°), ranging from 90°N at the North Pole to 90°S at the South Pole. **Longitude** measures how far east or west you are from the Prime Meridian (0°), which runs through Greenwich, England, and ranges from 0° to 180° in both directions. Together, these two numbers create a unique "coordinate pair" that pinpoints any location on the planet.
