Here's why:
* Longitude: Measures distances east or west of the Prime Meridian, which runs through Greenwich, England. It's measured in degrees from 0° (Prime Meridian) to 180° east or west.
* Latitude: Measures distances north or south of the Equator. It's measured in degrees from 0° (Equator) to 90° north or south.
To get the longitude and latitude of a specific place, you need to know the location's coordinates. For example, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, is located at approximately:
* Latitude: 48.8584° N
* Longitude: 2.2945° E
