keywords: 

{'longitude': [4, 2, 2, 1], 'latitude': [2, 0, 0, 4], 'place': [13, 5, 3, 13], 'map': [0, 7, 2, 0], 'altitude': [3, 0, 9, 13]}

To locate a place on a map, you would need both longitude and latitude coordinates of the place.

Longitude is a measurement that represents how far an object is east or west of the Prime Meridian, which is an imaginary line that runs vertically across the Earth. It is measured in degrees, with values ranging from 0° to 180°. Longitude helps determine the horizontal position of a place on the Earth`s surface.

Latitude, on the other hand, is a measurement that represents how far an object is north or south of the Equator, which is an imaginary line that runs horizontally around the Earth. Like longitude, it is measured in degrees, with values ranging from 0° to 90°. Latitude helps determine the vertical position of a place on the Earth`s surface.

By providing both longitude and latitude coordinates, you can pinpoint the exact location of a place on a map. This information allows you to accurately locate the place visually and determine its position in relation to other places on the map.

Option 1, which only includes the latitude of the place, is insufficient because it does not provide enough information about the east-west position of the place. Similarly, option 2, which only includes the longitude of the place, is also insufficient because it does not
