Do coordinates ever change?
The shift is different for different coordinate systems. UTM, State Plane, and geographic (latitude/longitude) values change by different amounts. Changes in State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS) values can be much larger, and can vary between states.
Why does latitude come before longitude?
I think the reason is: Accurate measurement of latitude came first as it was based on astronomical measurements. Longitude was not accurately measurable until a highly accurate time measuring device was developed.

That zero in that number is acting as a placeholder. It is telling you that the hundreds place is a zero, and the one to the left of it is for the thousands place. If we wrote the number without the zero, what would we have?
When to ignore leading zeros in decimals?
Log in or sign up to add this lesson to a Custom Course. Zeros that you see before a number are called leading zeros. When you see leading zeros to the left of a whole number, such as 0045, they can be ignored. The zeros are simply telling you that this particular number has no larger values. 0045 is the same as 45.
