Longitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the east-west position of a location on Earth. Together with latitude, it is used in address verification to pinpoint the exact position of an address. This is crucial for geocoding systems, which map addresses to geographic coordinates. USPS and other postal systems use longitude in combination with latitude to ensure accurate mail delivery, particularly in rural or hard-to-reach areas.
