    The document defines Geographic Information System (GIS) as a framework for capturing and analyzing spatial and geographic data. It describes remote sensing as obtaining information about objects from a distance, typically via aircraft or satellites. It also explains that latitude and longitude are used to identify locations on Earth, with latitude ranging from 0 degrees at the equator to 90 degrees at the poles, and longitude measuring east-west positions from the prime meridian.

    Geographic Information System

    A geographic information system is a conceptualized


    framework that provides the ability to capture and analyze
    spatial and geographic data.
    Remote sensing
    Remote sensing is the science of obtaining information about
    objects or areas from a distance, typically from aircraft or
    satellites.

    OR

    Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an


    object or phenomenon without making physical contact with
    the object and thus in contrast to on-site observation,
    especially the Earth.

    • Latitude is an angle (defined below) which ranges from 0° at
    the Equator to 90° (North or South) at the poles.

    • Longitude is the measurement east or west of the prime


    meridian. Longitude is measured by imaginary lines that run
    around the Earth vertically (up and down) and meet at the
    North and South Poles.
