| 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 octagon of latitude. | |
| The equator divides the planet into a Northern Hemisphere, a Southern Hemisphere and has a latitude of 0°. | |
