What does a minus mean in latitude and longitude?

As you know, the latitude number must be further clarified as 'north' or 'south' latitude, and the longitude number must be further clarified as 'east' or 'west' longitude. But when you do that, it's hard for a computer to read the information ... which has become a pretty important consideration now. So nowadays, it's common to see latitude written as ' + ' for north and ' - ' for south, and longitude written as ' + ' for east and ' - ' for west. Computers understand the difference between positive and negative numbers very well, and this makes it easier all around.


What are lines called where latitude and longitude intersect?

-- The place where a latitude intersects a longitude is a point, not a line. -- There are an infinite number of different longitudes, and each latitude intersects all of them. -- There are an infinite number of different latitudes, and each longitude intersects all of them. -- So you can see that there are a truly huge number of intersections. In fact, every point on Earth is an intersection of one latitude and one longitude, and no two points on Earth are the same intersection. On account of all that, there are no names.
