Explain how latitude and longitude are used to define a specific point in space for aviation.

Latitude and longitude are used to define a specific point in space for aviation by creating a coordinate system that uniquely identifies any location on the Earth's surface. Latitude measures the angular distance, in degrees, minutes, and seconds, north or south of the Equator, which is designated as 0 degrees latitude. Lines of constant latitude are called parallels and run east-west around the Earth. The North Pole is at 90 degrees north latitude, and the South Pole is at 90 degrees south latitude. Longitude measures the angular distance....
