  • Latitude vs. Longitude: Understanding the Order of Coordinates
    When given latitude and longitude coordinates, latitude is always listed first.

    Think of it like this:

    * Latitude goes from North to South, like a ladder going up and down.

    * Longitude goes from East to West, like a long line around the Earth.

    So, it's always latitude (N/S), then longitude (E/W).
