Question 27

Explain how latitudes and longitudes help to locate position of a place on a globe.

Answer

The latitudes and longitudes are horizontal and vertical lines which form a grid on the globe or map. We can easily locate a place on the globe if we have its longitudinal and latitudinal positions. The point of intersection of its latitude and longitude will determine the position of that place on globe.
