Longitude
[editar]Longitude on Mercury increases in the westerly direction. A small crater named Hun Kal provides the reference point for measuring longitude. By definition, the center of Hun Kal is 20° west longitude.[1]

 | This template may have no transclusions, because this template is used by mw:GeoHack to display maps on pages linked from, but outside of, the English Wikipedia. The GeoTemplate family of templates is used by {{coord}} links on articles about places on Earth and on extraterrestrial bodies. See {{Surface features of space objects}} for links to many such articles.. |

Microformat
[editar]The HTML markup produced by this template emits an Geo microformat, which makes the location's coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map. As yet, the standard for doing this for off-world bodies is still under development, but is supported in some microformat parsers (e.g. Swignition). For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.
Geo is usually produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:
- body
- geo
- latitude
- longitude
Please do not rename or remove these classes.
When giving coordinates, please don't be overly precise.
