GEOGRAPHICAL COORDINATES WHY THEY MATTER?
The are parallel lines are drawn parallel to Ecuador, the distance between Ecuador and a parallel is called latitude, so that a point can be located in north or south latitude.
The meridians are other imaginary circles pass through the North Pole and South Pole. The distance between the meridians is called length. A point can be located in east or west longitude. The distances between parallels and meridians is measured in degrees.
You sexagesimal grades are measures, ie: 1 = 60 '(one degree equals 60 minutes) .1' = 60 "(one minute equals 60 seconds).
