Which was more difficult to determine latitude or longitude?
Longitude because you needed a chronometer and it hadn't been invented yet.
Why is determining latitude easier than longitude?
Longitude proved more difficult to determine because longitude was based in the concept of time, making clocks an important variable in navigation. The time and distance in addition to the use of the sextant for latitude proved more difficult than measuring the latitude.
Why do scientists use latitude and longitude and not kilometres?
longitude and latitude are more scientific words so it makes them seem smarter
What unit do geographers use to measure map locations?

What is the latitude and longitude of the tropical rain forest?
There are manytropical rainforests, and they each take up more than one latitude and longitude.
How do global positioning systems use elevation on earths system to find latitude and longitude?
GPS receivers do not 'use' elevation for anything. They use the signals from several satellites simultaneously to calculate the latitude, longitude, and elevation of the receiver's location. It takes a minimum of three satellites to calculate the latitude and longitude, a minimum of four satellites to calculate the latitude, longitude, and elevation, if more satellites can be found the latitude, longitude, and elevation calculations can be refined more accurately.
