  • Understanding Longitude: Units and Measurement
    Longitude is measured in degrees, just like latitude.

    However, it's important to note that:

    * Degrees of longitude are not equal in distance. They converge at the poles, meaning a degree of longitude near the equator is much larger than a degree near the poles.

    * Longitude is often expressed in decimal degrees, but it can also be expressed in degrees, minutes, and seconds (DMS).
