What are geographic coordinates? Why do you need to be able to define them?

Geographic coordinates are the exact location of a specific object on the surface of the globe as a point.

Geographic coordinates are made up of latitude and longitude, which indicates the direction in relation to the Equator and to the prime meridian.

Their definition is necessary in order to be able to accurately find the desired object or direction.

The object can be cities, countries, rivers, seas, streets and more.

Thanks to them, you can specify the location of one geographic object in relation to another, as well as calculate the distance between them.
