Map of Earth
Longitude (λ)
Lines of longitude appear vertical with varying curvature in this projection; but are actually halves of great circles, with identical radii.
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°. World map with equator.svg
