Key Concepts

Geographic Coordinate System

A framework used to determine the location of any point on Earth's surface. It uses a grid system that is made up of lines of latitude and longitude, allowing us to describe positions using numerical coordinates.

Longitude

These are the imaginary lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitude measurements denote how far east or west a location is from the Prime Meridian, making it essential for ordering locations based on east-west positioning.

Latitude

Imaginary lines that run parallel to the equator, latitude lines provide the north-south positioning of a place. They are crucial for establishing a complete coordinate that, along with longitude, accurately locates points on Earth.
