Astronomy for Astrologers
Longitude and Latitude
This diagram shows the Earth, and on it we have drawn
both parallels of geographic latitude and north/south
geographic meridians of longitude. The arrow pointing
to one of the red dots illustrates a city located
somewhere along this geographic circle of latitude. Any
atlas will allow you to find other cities (by geographic
longitude and latitude) located along the parallel of
latitude where you are, and also cities located along the
north/south geographic meridian that passes through
your location. We have illustrated this with small circles
in the diagram that represent other cities located along
these two directions on the globe.
