By using a grid system of latitude and longitude, we can identify and navigate all the locations on the Earth’s surface. The latitude identifies the north and south direction while the longitude identifies the east and west direction. This system helps us in finding the distance between places on the Earth’s surface. The initial point represents 0 degree latitude. It is also known as the Prime Meridian. The opposite point shows 180 degrees, which is called as IDL (International Date Line). IDL is responsible for the alteration of data.
