Lab 2 : Part 3 - What do the coordinates correspond to ?
Hi,
In the lab handout for part 3, it is written in the description of the json file :
"a tuple of "coordinates" corresponding respectively to its longitude and latitude."
But the given values are of the sort : "coordinates": [
-73946939,
40729851
].
What is the unit exactly ?
Since normally, longitude and latitudes are angles, I'm not sure how to decipher such big values. Should I decompose them into angle, minutes, seconds ?
"coordinates": [ -73946939, 40729851 ].

This might give you an idea:
New York City, NY, USA
Latitude and longitude coordinates are: 40.730610, -73.935242.
DMS Lat 40° 43' 50.1960'' N
DMS Long 73° 56' 6.8712'' W
