Question

How do latitudes and longitudes help in locating a point? Why is only one of them insufficient in doing this?

One Word/Term Answer

Solution

Latitudes and longitudes form a grid. Two different points may lie on the same latitude, or the same longitude. But there exists only one point where a latitude and longitude intersect. So a point can be identified with the help of the latitude and longitude on which it lies.
