Longitude is the lines going up and down(vertical) that line the north and south pole while latitude is the lines that go side by side (horizontal) that are parallel to the equator. The equator is actually a latitude line
Latitude and longitude are used to find a specific location on a map. Latitude measures the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude measures the distance east or west of the** Prime Meridian**. ;
To find latitude and longitude on a map, first identify the horizontal (latitude) and vertical (longitude) lines. Then, locate the specific degrees for the coordinates you are interested in and find where they intersect. For example, to find 30°N and 90°W, locate both lines on the map and where they meet indicates the location.
