Expert Solution

Step 1

In geography, the earth is divided into several horizontal and perpendicular lines to help in coordinating an exact point on the earth. In geographic coordinate systems, latitude and longitude are measured and communicated directly on Earth as a spherical or ellipsoidal coordinate system.
