How far up (or down) the planet you are with 0o being the equator and 90o the poles.
Viewed from latitude 55° north, the sun's highest altitude on June 21 is31.5° down from the zenith, or 58.5° up from the horizon.
Because its the foundation for the all latitudes and all latitudes start to originate up and down from the equator.
Latitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the north-south position of a point on the Earth's surface. It is measured in degrees, with the equator at 0 degrees latitude and the North and South poles at 90 degrees latitude.
Latitude lines run east-west and measure distances north and south of the equator. Longitude lines run north-south and measure distances east and west of the Prime Meridian.
Latitude is sideto side;Longitude is up and down you can remember this by when you say the word latitude, your corners of your mouth go from side to side, and longitude, your lips go up and down.
Latitude lines run parallel to the equator.
Latitude lines go -------- (across) And Longitude goes | | | (up & down)
The direction of latitude is horizontal, while longitude is up and down. Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator.
Latitude go side to side and longitude do up and down
On a map, longitude lines go up and down, AKA vertically. Latitude lines are horizontal lines on a map.
it is the imaginary line that divide the mountain longitude is from up to down is the direction while the latitude is from west to east AM I RIGHT
Side by side. Longitude is up and down because it is long
Longitude is up and down though it measures east and west. Latitude is side to side even though it measures north and south
The lines going up and down (vertical) from the south pole and north pole
How far up (or down) the planet you are with 0o being the equator and 90o the poles.
Viewed from latitude 55° north, the sun's highest altitude on June 21 is31.5° down from the zenith, or 58.5° up from the horizon.
