Längen- und Breitengrad sind die Koordinaten für die Erde: Breite = Norden/Süden, Länge = Osten/Westen. Und das Beste: Dank ChatGPT lassen sich daraus in Minuten ungeahnte Lernmaterialien bauen – Merkbild, Mini-Text, Übungsaufgaben, Quiz und Eselsbrücken. Ein Thema rein, fertiges Unterrichtspaket raus. Und wer will bekommt es sogar Interaktiv!

North: 66°03′N, Húsavik, Iceland
East: 178°1′4″E, Gisborne, New Zealand
South: 45°52′27″S, Dunedin, New Zealand
West: 175°12′0″W, Nuku'alofa, TongaIt was actually fun to review all those. I was surprised to see NZ on there twice. I had thought Tasmania might be farther south. Also, I was expecting Tonga to be the farthest east I had been, not the farthest west.

On February 4, 1749, English watchmaker Thomas Earnshaw was born. Earnshaw further simplified the process of marine chronometer production, making them available to the general public. He is also known for his improvements to the transit clock at the Royal Greenwich Observatory in London and his invention of a chronometer escapement and a form of bimetallic compensation balance.

One of the most error prone things is that (lat, lon) == (y, x).
The one invented to do it in this particular order is the most evil person in the entire Earth existence. Or the funniest one...
