Globes and geographic maps have a coordinate system. With its help, you can plot any object on a globe or map, as well as find it on the earth's surface. What is this system, and how to determine the coordinates of any object on the surface of the Earth with its participation? We will try to talk about this in this article.
Geographic latitude and longitude
Longitude and latitude are geographical concepts that are measured in angular units (degrees). They serve to indicate the position of any point (object) on the earth's surface.
Geographic latitude is the angle between a plumb line at a particular point and the plane of the equator (zero parallel). Latitude in the Southern Hemisphere is called southern, and in the Northern Hemisphere it is called northern. Can vary from 0∗ to 90∗.
Geographic longitude is the angle made by the meridian plane at a certain point to the plane of the prime meridian. If the longitude is counted east from the prime Greenwich meridian, then it will be east longitude, and if it is to the west, then it will be west longitude. Longitude values can range from 0∗ to 180∗. Most often, on globes and maps, meridians (longitude) are indicated when they intersect with the equator.
How to determine your coordinates
When a person finds himself in an emergency situation, he must, first of all, be well oriented in the area. In some cases, it is necessary to have certain skills in determining the geographic coordinates of your location, for example, in order to convey them to rescuers. There are several ways to do this using improvised methods. We present the simplest of them.
Determining longitude by gnomon
If you go traveling, it is best to set your watch to Greenwich time:
- It is necessary to determine when it will be noon GMT in a given area.
- Stick a stick (gnomon) to determine the shortest solar shadow at noon.
- Find the minimum shadow cast by the gnomon. This time will be local noon. In addition, this shadow will point strictly north at this time.
- Using this time, calculate the longitude of the place where you are.
Calculations are made based on the following:
- since the Earth makes a complete revolution in 24 hours, therefore, it will travel 15 ∗ (degrees) in 1 hour;
- 4 minutes of time will be equal to 1 geographical degree;
- 1 second of longitude will be equal to 4 seconds of time;
- if noon occurs before 12 o'clock GMT, this means that you are in the Eastern Hemisphere;
- If you spot the shortest shadow after 12 o'clock GMT, then you are in the Western Hemisphere.
An example of the simplest calculation of longitude: the shortest shadow was cast by the gnomon at 11 hours 36 minutes, that is, noon came 24 minutes earlier than at Greenwich. Based on the fact that 4 minutes of time are equal to 1 ∗ longitude, we calculate - 24 minutes / 4 minutes = 6 ∗. This means that you are in the Eastern Hemisphere at 6 ∗ longitude.
How to determine geographic latitude
The determination is made using a protractor and a plumb line. To do this, a protractor is made from 2 rectangular strips and fastened in the form of a compass so that the angle between them can be changed.
- A thread with a load is fixed in the central part of the protractor and plays the role of a plumb line.
- With its base, the protractor is aimed at the North Star.
- 90 ∗ is subtracted from the angle between the plumb line of the protractor and its base. The result is the angle between the horizon and the North Star. Since this star is only 1 ∗ deviated from the axis of the world pole, the resulting angle will be equal to the latitude of the place where you are currently located.
How to determine geographic coordinates
The simplest way to determine geographic coordinates, which does not require any calculations, is this:
- Google maps opens.
- Find the exact place there;
- the map is moved with the mouse, moved away and zoomed in using its wheel
- find a settlement by name using the search.
- Right-click on the desired location. Select the required item from the menu that opens. In this case, “What is here?” Geographic coordinates will appear in the search line at the top of the window. For example: Sochi - 43.596306, 39.7229. They indicate the geographic latitude and longitude of the center of that city. This way you can determine the coordinates of your street or house.
Using the same coordinates you can see the place on the map. You just can’t swap these numbers. If you put longitude first and latitude second, you risk ending up in a different place. For example, instead of Moscow you will end up in Turkmenistan.
How to determine coordinates on a map
To determine the geographic latitude of an object, you need to find the closest parallel to it from the equator. For example, Moscow is located between the 50th and 60th parallels. The closest parallel from the equator is the 50th. To this figure is added the number of degrees of the meridian arc, which is calculated from the 50th parallel to the desired object. This number is 6. Therefore, 50 + 6 = 56. Moscow lies on the 56th parallel.
To determine the geographic longitude of an object, find the meridian where it is located. For example, St. Petersburg lies east of Greenwich. Meridian, this one is 30 ∗ away from the prime meridian. This means that the city of St. Petersburg is located in the Eastern Hemisphere at a longitude of 30 ∗.
How to determine the coordinates of the geographic longitude of the desired object if it is located between two meridians? At the very beginning, the longitude of the meridian that is located closer to Greenwich is determined. Then to this value you need to add the number of degrees that is on the parallel arc the distance between the object and the meridian closest to Greenwich.
Example, Moscow is located east of the 30 ∗ meridian. Between it and Moscow the arc of parallel is 8 ∗. This means that Moscow has an eastern longitude and it is equal to 38 ∗ (E).
How to determine your coordinates on topographic maps? Geodetic and astronomical coordinates of the same objects differ on average by 70 m. Parallels and meridians on topographic maps are the inner frames of the sheets. Their latitude and longitude are written in the corner of each sheet. Western Hemisphere map sheets are marked "West of Greenwich" in the northwest corner of the frame. Maps of the Eastern Hemisphere will accordingly be marked “East of Greenwich.”
Geographic longitude and latitude are used to accurately determine the physical location of any object on the globe. The easiest way to find geographic coordinates is to use a geographic map. This method requires some theoretical knowledge to implement it. How to determine longitude and latitude is described in the article.
Geographical coordinates
Coordinates in geography are a system in which each point on the surface of our planet is assigned a set of numbers and symbols that allows the precise location of that point to be determined. Geographic coordinates are expressed in three numbers - latitude, longitude and altitude above sea level. The first two coordinates, that is, latitude and longitude, are most often used in various geographical problems. The origin of the report in the geographic coordinate system is at the center of the Earth. To represent latitude and longitude, spherical coordinates are used, which are expressed in degrees.
Before considering the question of how to determine longitude and latitude by geography, you should understand these concepts in more detail.
The concept of latitude
The latitude of a specific point on the Earth's surface is understood as the angle between the equatorial plane and the line connecting this point with the center of the Earth. Through all points of the same latitude, you can draw a plane that will be parallel to the plane of the equator.
The equatorial plane is the zero parallel, that is, its latitude is 0°, and it divides the entire globe into the southern and northern hemispheres. Accordingly, the north pole lies at the parallel of 90° north latitude, and the south pole lies at the parallel of 90° south latitude. The distance that corresponds to 1° when moving along a particular parallel depends on what kind of parallel it is. As latitude increases, moving north or south, this distance decreases. Therefore, is 0°. Knowing that the circumference of the Earth at the latitude of the equator has a length of 40075.017 km, we obtain the length of 1° along this parallel equal to 111.319 km.
Latitude shows how far north or south a given point on the Earth's surface lies from the equator.
The concept of longitude
The longitude of a specific point on the Earth's surface is understood as the angle between the plane passing through this point and the Earth's axis of rotation, and the plane of the prime meridian. According to the settlement agreement, the zero meridian is the one that passes through the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, located in the southeast of England. The Greenwich meridian divides the globe into eastern and
Thus, each line of longitude passes through the north and south poles. The lengths of all meridians are equal and amount to 40007.161 km. If we compare this figure with the length of the zero parallel, we can say that the geometric shape of planet Earth is a ball flattened at the poles.
Longitude shows how far west or east of the prime (Greenwich) meridian a specific point on Earth lies. If latitude has a maximum value of 90° (the latitude of the poles), then the maximum value of longitude is 180° west or east of the prime meridian. The 180° meridian is known as the International Date Line.
An interesting question to ask is which points cannot have their longitude determined. Based on the definition of a meridian, we find that all 360 meridians pass through two points on the surface of our planet; these points are the south and north poles.
Geographical degree
From the above figures it is clear that 1° on the Earth’s surface corresponds to a distance of more than 100 km, either along a parallel or along a meridian. For more accurate coordinates of an object, the degree is divided into tenths and hundredths, for example, they say 35.79 north latitude. This type of information is provided by satellite navigation systems such as GPS.
Conventional geographic and topographic maps represent fractions of degrees in minutes and seconds. Thus, each degree is divided into 60 minutes (denoted by 60"), and each minute is divided into 60 seconds (denoted by 60"). An analogy can be drawn here with the idea of measuring time.
Getting to know the geographic map
To understand how to determine geographic latitude and longitude on a map, you must first become familiar with it. In particular, you need to understand how longitude and latitude coordinates are represented on it. Firstly, the top part of the map shows the northern hemisphere, the bottom part shows the southern hemisphere. The numbers on the left and right sides of the map indicate latitude, and the numbers on the top and bottom of the map indicate longitude coordinates.
Before determining the latitude and longitude coordinates, you need to remember that they are presented on the map in degrees, minutes and seconds. This system of units should not be confused with decimal degrees. For example, 15" = 0.25°, 30" = 0.5°, 45"" = 0.75".
Using a geographic map to determine longitude and latitude
We will explain in detail how to determine longitude and latitude by geography using a map. To do this, you first need to purchase a standard geographic map. This map can be a map of a small area, a region, a country, a continent, or the entire world. To understand which card you are dealing with, you should read its name. At the bottom, under the name, the limits of latitude and longitude that are presented on the map can be given.
After this, you need to select a certain point on the map, some object that needs to be marked in some way, for example, with a pencil. How to determine the longitude of an object located at a selected point, and how to determine its latitude? The first step is to find the vertical and horizontal lines that lie closest to the selected point. These lines are latitude and longitude, the numerical values of which can be seen at the edges of the map. Let's assume that the selected point lies between 10° and 11° north latitude and 67° and 68° west longitude.
Thus, we know how to determine the geographic latitude and longitude of the object selected on the map with the accuracy that the map provides. In this case, the accuracy is 0.5°, both in latitude and longitude.
Determining the exact value of geographic coordinates
How to determine the longitude and latitude of a point more accurately than 0.5°? First you need to find out what scale the map you are working with is on. Typically, a scale bar is indicated in one of the corners of the map, showing the correspondence of distances on the map to distances in geographic coordinates and in kilometers on the ground.
After you have found a scale ruler, you need to take a simple ruler with millimeter divisions and measure the distance on the scale ruler. Let, in the example under consideration, 50 mm correspond to 1° latitude and 40 mm correspond to 1° longitude.
Now we position the ruler so that it is parallel to the lines of longitude drawn on the map, and measure the distance from the point in question to one of the nearest parallels, for example, the distance to the 11° parallel is 35 mm. We make a simple proportion and find that this distance corresponds to 0.3° from the 10° parallel. Thus, the latitude of the point in question is +10.3° (the plus sign means north latitude).
Similar steps should be done for longitude. To do this, place the ruler parallel to the lines of latitude and measure the distance to the nearest meridian from the selected point on the map, let’s say this distance is 10 mm to the meridian 67° west longitude. According to the rules of proportion, we find that the longitude of the object in question is -67.25° (the minus sign means western longitude).
Converting the received degrees into minutes and seconds
As stated above, 1° = 60" = 3600". Using this information and the rule of proportion, we find that 10.3° corresponds to 10°18"0". For the longitude value we get: 67.25° = 67°15"0". In this case, the proportion was used for conversion once for longitude and latitude. However, in the general case, when after using the proportion once fractional values of minutes are obtained, it should be use the proportion a second time to get the value of incremental seconds. Note that the accuracy of determining coordinates up to 1" corresponds to an accuracy on the surface of the globe equal to 30 meters.
Recording received coordinates
After the question of how to determine the longitude of an object and its latitude has been answered, and the coordinates of the selected point have been determined, they should be written down correctly. The standard form of notation is to indicate longitude after latitude. Both values must be specified with as many decimal places as possible, since this determines the accuracy of the object's location.
Defined coordinates can be represented in two different formats:
- Using only the degree icon, for example +10.3°, -67.25°.
- Using minutes and seconds, for example 10°18"0""N, 67°15"0""W.
It should be noted that in the case of representing geographic coordinates only using degrees, the words “north (south) latitude” and “east (west) longitude” are replaced by the corresponding plus or minus sign.
Each point on the planet's surface has a specific position, which corresponds to its own latitude and longitude coordinates. It is located at the intersection of the spherical arcs of the meridian, which corresponds to longitude, with the parallel, which corresponds to latitude. It is denoted by a pair of angular quantities expressed in degrees, minutes, seconds, which has the definition of a coordinate system.
Latitude and longitude are the geographic aspect of a plane or sphere translated into topographic images. To more accurately locate a point, its altitude above sea level is also taken into account, which makes it possible to find it in three-dimensional space.
The need to find a point using latitude and longitude coordinates arises due to the duty and occupation of rescuers, geologists, military personnel, sailors, archaeologists, pilots and drivers, but it may also be necessary for tourists, travelers, seekers, and researchers.
What is latitude and how to find it
Latitude is the distance from an object to the equator line. Measured in angular units (such as degrees, degrees, minutes, seconds, etc.). Latitude on a map or globe is indicated by horizontal parallels - lines that describe a circle parallel to the equator and converge in the form of a series of tapering rings towards the poles.
Therefore, they distinguish between northern latitude - this is the entire part of the earth's surface north of the equator, and also southern latitude - this is the entire part of the planet's surface south of the equator. The equator is the zero, longest parallel. 
- Parallels from the equator line to the north pole are considered to be a positive value from 0° to 90°, where 0° is the equator itself, and 90° is the top of the north pole. They are counted as northern latitude (N).
- Parallels extending from the equator towards the south pole are indicated by a negative value from 0° to -90°, where -90° is the location of the south pole. They are counted as southern latitude (S).
- On the globe, parallels are depicted as circles encircling the ball, which become smaller as they approach the poles.
- All points on the same parallel will be designated by the same latitude, but different longitudes.
On maps, based on their scale, parallels have the form of horizontal, curved stripes - the smaller the scale, the straighter the parallel strip is depicted, and the larger it is, the more curved it is.
Remember! The closer to the equator a given area is located, the smaller its latitude will be.
What is longitude and how to find it
Longitude is the amount by which the position of a given area is removed relative to Greenwich, that is, the prime meridian.
Longitude is similarly characterized by measurement in angular units, only from 0° to 180° and with a prefix - eastern or western. 
- The Greenwich Prime Meridian vertically encircles the globe of the Earth, passing through both poles, dividing it into the western and eastern hemispheres.
- Each of the parts located west of Greenwich (in the Western Hemisphere) will be designated west longitude (w.l.).
- Each of the parts distant from Greenwich to the east and located in the eastern hemisphere will bear the designation east longitude (E.L.).
- Finding each point along one meridian has the same longitude, but different latitude.
- Meridians are drawn on maps in the form of vertical stripes curved in the shape of an arc. The smaller the map scale, the straighter the meridian strip will be.
How to find the coordinates of a given point on the map
Often you have to find out the coordinates of a point that is located on the map in a square between the two nearest parallels and meridians. Approximate data can be obtained by eye by sequentially estimating the step in degrees between the mapped lines in the area of interest, and then comparing the distance from them to the desired area. For accurate calculations you will need a pencil with a ruler, or a compass. 
- For the initial data we take the designations of the parallels closest to our point with the meridian.
- Next, we look at the step between their stripes in degrees.
- Then we look at the size of their step on the map in cm.
- We measure with a ruler in cm the distance from a given point to the nearest parallel, as well as the distance between this line and the neighboring one, convert it to degrees and take into account the difference - subtracting from the larger one, or adding to the smaller one.
- This gives us the latitude.
Example! The distance between the parallels 40° and 50°, among which our area is located, is 2 cm or 20 mm, and the step between them is 10°. Accordingly, 1° is equal to 2 mm. Our point is 0.5 cm or 5 mm away from the fortieth parallel. We find the degrees to our area 5/2 = 2.5°, which must be added to the value of the nearest parallel: 40° + 2.5° = 42.5° - this is our northern latitude of the given point. In the southern hemisphere, the calculations are similar, but the result has a negative sign.
Similarly, we find longitude - if the nearest meridian is further from Greenwich, and the given point is closer, then we subtract the difference, if the meridian is closer to Greenwich, and the point is further, then we add it.
If you only have a compass at hand, then each of the segments is fixed with its tips, and the spread is transferred to the scale.
In a similar way, calculations of coordinates on the surface of the globe are carried out.
Since the time of man's access to the seas, the need to determine longitude and latitude has been a vital human skill. Epochs changed, and man became able to determine the cardinal directions in any weather. New methods of determining one's position were required.
The captain of a Spanish galleon in the eighteenth century knew exactly where the ship was thanks to the position of the stars in the night sky. A 19th-century traveler could detect deviations from the established route in the forest by natural clues.
Now it’s the twenty-first century and many have lost the knowledge gained from geography lessons. Android or iPhone smartphones can serve as a tool, but they can never replace the knowledge and ability to determine your location.
What is latitude and longitude in geography
Determination of geographical coordinates
Apps that users install on iPhone read location coordinates to provide services or data based on where a person is located. After all, if a subscriber is in Russia, then there is no reason for him to read sites in English. Everything happens in the background.
While the average user will never deal with GPS coordinates, knowing how to obtain and read them can be valuable. In some cases, they can save lives when there is no card nearby.
In any geographical system there are two indicators: latitude and longitude. Geodata from a smartphone shows exactly where the user is located relative to the equator.
How to determine the latitude and longitude of your location
Let's consider two options for determining geographic coordinates:
- Via Android The simplest is the Google Maps application, perhaps the most comprehensive collection of geographic maps in one application. After launching the Google maps application, the location on the road map will be pinpointed so that the user can get the best possible understanding of the surrounding area. The app also offers an extensive list of features, including real-time GPS navigation, traffic conditions and transit information, as well as detailed information about nearby places, including popular food and recreation spots, photos and reviews.
- Via iPhone You won't need any third party app to view latitude and longitude data. The location is determined only with the maps application. To find out the current coordinates, just launch “maps”. Tap the arrow in the upper right corner of the screen, then tap the blue dot - this indicates the location of the phone and the user. Next, we swipe up the screen, and now the user can see the GPS coordinates. Unfortunately, there is no way to copy these coordinates, but you can get similar data.
To copy them you will need another Compass application. It's already installed on your iPhone and you can use it right away.
To view latitude, longitude, and altitude coordinates in the Compass app, simply launch and find the data at the bottom.
Determining the geographical coordinates of Moscow
For this:
- Open maps of the Yandex search engine.
- In the address bar, enter the name of our capital “Moscow”.
- The city center (Kremlin) opens and under the name of the country we find the numbers 55.753215, 37.622504 - these are the coordinates, that is, 55.753215 north latitude and 37.622504 east longitude.
Throughout the world, GPS coordinates are determined by latitude and longitude according to the wgs-84 coordinate system.
In all situations, the latitude coordinate is a point relative to the equator, and the longitude coordinate is a point relative to the meridian of the British Royal Observatory at Greenwich, in the UK. This determines two important parameters of online geography.
Finding the latitude and longitude of St. Petersburg
To consolidate the skill, we will repeat the same algorithm of actions, but for the Northern capital:
- Open Yandex cards.
- We write down the name of the northern capital “St. Petersburg”.
- The result of the request will be a panorama of Palace Square and the required coordinates 59.939095, 30.315868.

Reading GPS data or where negative numbers come from
The object's geographic positioning system has changed several times. Now, thanks to it, you can quite accurately determine the distance to the desired object and find out the coordinates.
The ability to show location is a vital necessity during search operations of rescue services. There are different situations with travelers, tourists or extreme sports enthusiasts. It is then that high accuracy is important, when a person is on the verge of life, and minutes count.
Now, dear reader, having such knowledge, you may have questions. There are many of them, but even from the table one of the most interesting emerges - why is the number negative? Let's figure it out.
GPS, when translated into Russian, sounds like this – “global positioning system”. We remember that the distance to the desired geographical object (city, village, village, etc.) is measured according to two landmarks on the globe: the equator and the observatory in London.
At school they talked about latitude and longitude, but in Yandex maps they are replaced with the left and right parts of the code. If the navigator shows positive values, then you are going in a northerly direction. Otherwise, the numbers become negative, indicating southern latitude.
The same goes for longitude. Positive values are eastern longitude, and negative values are western longitude.
For example, the coordinates of the Lenin Library in Moscow: 55°45’08.1″N 37°36’36.9″E. It reads like this: “55 degrees 45 minutes and 08.1 seconds north latitude and 37 degrees 36 minutes and 36.9 seconds east longitude” (data from Google maps).
And it allows you to find the exact location of objects on the earth’s surface degree network- a system of parallels and meridians. It serves to determine the geographic coordinates of points on the earth's surface - their longitude and latitude.
Parallels(from Greek parallelos- walking next to) are lines conventionally drawn on the earth's surface parallel to the equator; equator - a line of section of the earth's surface by a depicted plane passing through the center of the Earth perpendicular to its axis of rotation. The longest parallel is the equator; the length of the parallels from the equator to the poles decreases.
Meridians(from lat. meridianus- midday) - lines conventionally drawn on the earth's surface from one pole to another along the shortest path. All meridians are equal in length. All points of a given meridian have the same longitude, and all points of a given parallel have the same latitude.
Rice. 1. Elements of the degree network
Geographic latitude and longitude
Geographic latitude of a point is the magnitude of the meridian arc in degrees from the equator to a given point. It varies from 0° (equator) to 90° (pole). There are northern and southern latitudes, abbreviated as N.W. and S. (Fig. 2).
Any point south of the equator will have a southern latitude, and any point north of the equator will have a northern latitude. Determining the geographic latitude of any point means determining the latitude of the parallel on which it is located. On maps, the latitude of parallels is indicated on the right and left frames.
Rice. 2. Geographical latitude
Geographic longitude of a point is the magnitude of the parallel arc in degrees from the prime meridian to a given point. The prime (prime, or Greenwich) meridian passes through the Greenwich Observatory, located near London. To the east of this meridian the longitude of all points is eastern, to the west - western (Fig. 3). Longitude varies from 0 to 180°.
Rice. 3. Geographical longitude
Determining the geographic longitude of any point means determining the longitude of the meridian on which it is located.
On maps, the longitude of the meridians is indicated on the upper and lower frames, and on the map of the hemispheres - on the equator.
The latitude and longitude of any point on Earth make up its geographical coordinates. Thus, the geographical coordinates of Moscow are 56° N. and 38°E
