Latitude and longitude are both measured in degrees, minutes and seconds. There are 60 minutes in each degree and 60 seconds in each minute. Values for longitude range from 0 (for the Prime Meridian) to 180 degrees. They are denoted by the letters E or W to represent direction. Alternatively, positive values may be used east of the Prime Meridian and negative in the west. They range from 0 (for the Equator) to 90 (for the north and south poles).
The demarcation of the longitude coordinate is done with lines going up and down are called the meridians. A figure to the right shows a few meridians. Longitude ranges from 0Â° to 180Â° East and 0Â° to 180Â° West. The longitude angle is measured from the center of the earth as shown in the earth graphic to the right. The zero point of longitude is defined as a point in Greenwich, England called the Prime Meridian.
