Longitude is given as an angular measurement ranging from 0° at the Prime Meridian to +180° eastward and −180° westward. The Greek letter λ (lambda) is used to denote the location of a place on Earth east or west of the Prime Meridian.
Ang isang guhit ng longhitud ay isang meridyanong hilaga-timog at kalahati ng isang malaking bilog.
Ang longhitud ay sinisimbolo ng Griyegong titik na lambda (λ).
The Greek letter λ (lambda) is used to denote the location of a place on Earth east or west of the Prime Meridian. Each degree of longitude is sub-divided into 60 minutes, each of which is divided into 60 seconds. A longitude is thus specified in sexagesimal notation as 23° 27′ 30″ E.
