Answer:

Latitude is vertical, while longitude is horizontal

The lines that split them in half is called a plane. You may see these when plotting points.

Answer:

1.Latitude implies the geographic coordinates that determine the distance of a point, north-south of the equator. Longitude alludes to the geographic coordinate, which identifies the distance of a point, east-west of the Prime Meridian.

2.Equator

3.In the Southern Hemisphere, summer begins in December and ends in March. The Earth can also be divided into hemispheres along meridians, or lines of longitude. The prime meridian, or 0 degrees longitude, and the International Date Line, 180 degrees longitude, divide the Earth into Eastern and Western hemispheres.
