Latitude and longitude lines form an imaginary grid over the entire surface of Earth. This grid provides everyone with the same tools for navigation. Using latitude and longitude, you can locate any place on the planet. Latitude is based on an imaginary line that circles Earth halfway between the north and south poles.
