geolocation - Why is Google maps latitude vertical and not horizontal? -


i don't know why wiki show latitude horizontal , latitude vertical on earth. when using google map see latitude vertical (-90, 90) , longtitude horizontal (-180, 180)

can show me why?

i don't know wiki you're referring to, it's wrong.

latitude vertical (from south north), longitude horizontal (from west east)

so latitude, longitude y,x

latitude ranges vertically -90 (south pole) +90 (north pole). 0 (horizontal) equator separates southern , northern hemisphere.

longitude ranges horizontally -180 180, 0 vertical line goes through london. longitude -180 , 180 both represent same vertical line.
