When we want to know the exact location of a place on the Earth, we need its latitude and longitude.
Latitude is the distance between a place and the Equator. Longitude is the distance between a place and the Greenwich Meridian.
In the following video we will know more about how to find an exact location of a place on the Earth. We will do this exercise from the listening.
