GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -The area north of the equator is labeled Northern Hemisphere; the area south of the equator is labeled Southern Hemisphere. Latitude lines are labeled from the north pole (90 degrees north) to the equator (0 degrees) and down to the south pole (90 degrees south).

Detailed explanation-2: -In geography, latitude is a coordinate that specifies the north–south position of a point on the surface of the Earth or another celestial body. Latitude is given as an angle that ranges from –90° at the south pole to 90° at the north pole, with 0° at the Equator.

Detailed explanation-3: -Longitude are lines that run north-south and mark the position east-west of a point. Therefore, latitude is the angular distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. Lines of longitude run from pole to pole, crossing the equator at right angles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Latitude/Longitude Formats Latitude and longitude, respectively: each represented as a decimal number. Note that negative latitudes represent the southern hemisphere, and negative longitudes represent the western hemisphere.
