Longitude (λ) |
---|
Lines of longitude appear vertical with varying curvature in this projection, but are actually halves of great ellipses, with identical radii at a given latitude. |
Latitude (φ) |
Lines of latitude appear horizontal with varying curvature in this projection; but are actually circular with different radii. All locations with a given latitude are collectively referred to as a circle of latitude. |
The equator divides the planet into a Northern Hemisphere and a Southern Hemisphere, and has a latitude of 0°. |
