How do you plot negative latitude and longitude?

To plot negative latitude and longitude coordinates, use the correct format for the coordinates (e.g., (-12.345, -67.890)) and ensure that your mapping tool or software supports plotting negative coordinates.

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 latitudes are parallel?

All lines of latitude are parallel to each other. The equator is the line of latitude at 0 degrees. Lines of latitude in the northern hemisphere have a positive latitude or are designated with "N" for North. Likewise, lines latitude in the southern hemisphere have a negative latitude or are designated with "S" for South.For example, the continental US (not including Hawaii and Alaska) is contained within the lines of latitude at 25 N and 50 N.
