Suppose you are visiting the equator. It is noon. The Sun is at its highest point in the sky for the day, which is directly over your head. You call a friend on the phone, and she says it is also noon where she is but the Sun is not directly overhead at that location and time. It is a little lower in the sky for her. Compare the longitude and latitude where you are with the longitude and latitude where your friend is. Are they alike or different? How do you know?

Both are different because you are on the equator while your friend is slightly away from the equator. The longitude of your is on the equator due to the sun location whereas your friend is present near your location due to the same time i. e. noon but away from the equator because of the location of the sun on his head. Your latitude on the equator is 0 degrees and longitude is 180 degrees while your friend has more than 0 degrees latitude and less than 180 degrees longitude.

Based on the Sun direction during the day time, the Latitude on the equator is 0 degrees and longitude is 180 degrees

The latitude and longitude is different because you are on the equator while your friend is slightly away from the equator.

The longitude of yours is on the equator due to the sun location whereas your friend is present near your location due to the same time i. e. noon but away from the equator because of the location of the sun on his head.

The latitude on the equator is 0 degrees and longitude is 180 degrees while your friend has more than 0 degrees latitude and less than 180 degrees longitude.

In conclusion, the Latitude on the equator is 0 degrees and longitude is 180 degrees based on the Sun direction during the day time.
