What are eastings and northings in relation to longitude and latitude?

Question

No websites simply explain which on is which and what direction they go in for instance. Are there any helpful rhymes that could help me remember which ones are the same as each other and which way round to put them on the axis? Thanks

uh not really i just remember latitute fatitude so it goes east to west, side to side. Also, the equator is a line of latitude. then longitude is just... well.... long. up and down. North to South. The prime meridian is a line of longitude. Hope this helped! :)
