Both latitude and longitude are measured in degrees(°).
Latitude
Longitude
The vertical imaginary lines that tell the location east or west of the Prime Meridian.
The horizontal imaginary lines that tell the location north or south of the Equator.
THE COMPASS
A compass is a device used in navigation.
The letters indicate the cardinal directions.
The bearing tells how many degrees away from the north or south. Traveling north means 0° bearing.
The compass needle always points to the magnetic north.
