Difference between Cartography and Longitude

Cartography vs. Longitude

Cartography (from Greek χάρτης chartēs, "papyrus, sheet of paper, map"; and γράφειν graphein, "write") is the study and practice of making maps. Longitude, is a geographic coordinate that specifies the east-west position of a point on the Earth's surface.

Similarities between Cartography and Longitude

Cartography and Longitude have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Great-circle distance, Latitude, Map projection, Quadrant (instrument), Sun, United States Geological Survey.

Great-circle distance

The great-circle distance or orthodromic distance is the shortest distance between two points on the surface of a sphere, measured along the surface of the sphere (as opposed to a straight line through the sphere's interior).
