Where on Earth are you?

The video tutorial explains how to determine your location on Earth using two numbers: latitude and longitude. Latitude is measured from the equator, with values ranging from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. Longitude is measured from the prime meridian, with values ranging from 0° at Greenwich to 180° on the opposite side of the Earth. By understanding these concepts, you can pinpoint any location on the planet, such as Lake Geneva in Switzerland, using coordinates like 46° N and 6° E.
