laiuskraadidega

Liuskraadidega refers to a type of geographical coordinate system used to define locations on Earth's surface. It is based on the concept of latitude and longitude. Latitude, also known as parallel, measures the angular distance of a point north or south of the Earth's equator. It is expressed in degrees, minutes, and seconds, ranging from 0 degrees at the equator to 90 degrees at the North and South Poles. Lines of latitude are parallel to the equator and are therefore called parallels.

Longitude, also known as meridian, measures the angular distance of a point east or west of the Prime Meridian, which is an imaginary line passing through Greenwich, London. Like latitude, longitude is expressed in degrees, minutes, and seconds, ranging from 0 degrees at the Prime Meridian to 180 degrees east or west. Lines of longitude converge at the North and South Poles and are called meridians.

Together, latitude and longitude form a grid system that allows for precise location identification anywhere on the globe. This system is fundamental to navigation, cartography, and various scientific disciplines. For example, when a specific location is described as having certain liuskraadidega, it means its position is defined by its latitude and longitude coordinates. This method has been used for centuries and remains a cornerstone of how we understand and interact with geographical space.
