In this video, you will set up  your document and record the   latitude and longitude of your location.

To begin, open Google Drive and create a new document.

Rename it, And title the document with  the location of your images.  Next, look for the latitude and longitude of the  location in the Google Earth Engine search bar.   These numbers describe the exact  location of a place on Earth.  Latitude is the distance north or south from  the equator measured through ninety degrees.  Latitude lines are imaginary lines that run  from east to west on a globe.

A location that   has a positive latitude is above the equator,  and one that has a negative latitude is below.   The equator is always zero degrees latitude.

Press the Control and C keys on your keyboard   to copy your location’s latitude from Google  Earth Engine.

Then, press Control and V to   paste it in your document.

Some computers  have a Command key instead of a Control key.  Next, record the longitude.

Longitude is the  distance east or west from the prime meridian   measured through one-hundred-eighty degrees.

Longitude lines are imaginary lines that run from  north to south on a globe.

A location that has a  positive longitude is east of the prime meridian, and one that has a negative longitude is west.

The prime meridian is always zero degrees longitude.

Copy and paste your location’s  longitude in your document.  Finally, center and format the text.

Now, it’s your turn:  Create a new document and rename it, Title the document,  Record the latitude and longitude of the location, And format the text.
