Latitude and Longitude Part II

Another helpful tip when working with latitude/longitude: latitude is measured in degrees, from 0 degrees at the equator, to 90 degrees N (at the North Pole) or S (at the South Pole).

Longitude is measured in degrees east or west of the prime meridian, an imaginary line that starts at the North Pole, runs through Greenwich, England, and goes to the South Pole.
