16. What is the primary difference between how latitude and longitude are measured?

Latitude uses numbers, longitude uses letters.

Latitude is measured from the Poles, longitude from the Equator.

Latitude is measured from a natural reference (Equator), while longitude is measured from an arbitrary reference (Prime Meridian).

There is no difference; they are measured the same way.
