\nTo find the absolute location of a place on a map or the Earth’s surface, both its latitude and longitude are required.
\n<\/section>\n
\nAbsolute location is defined by a unique set of coordinates within a specific reference system. On Earth, the most common system uses latitude and longitude, which form a grid. Latitude lines run east-west and measure distance north or south of the Equator. Longitude lines run north-south and measure distance east or west of the Prime Meridian.
\n<\/section>\n
\nLatitude alone defines a parallel, which is a line circling the Earth. Longitude alone defines a meridian, which is a line running from pole to pole. Neither line on its own can pinpoint a specific location. The intersection of a specific latitude and a specific longitude provides the unique absolute location of a point on the Earth’s surface.
