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.
