Are Esri's lattitude and longitude values the opposite of Google map's lattitude and longitude?

Let's say I search for an address on Google and I get its latitude and longitude values as

<SPAN class="comment token">// Google Maps</SPAN>

<SPAN class="number token">57.44352239876</SPAN> <SPAN class="comment token">// lat</SPAN>
<SPAN class="operator token">-</SPAN><SPAN class="number token">133.8994923441</SPAN> <SPAN class="comment token">// long‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

  
If I search for the same address on ESRI maps, I get the values as 

<SPAN class="comment token">// ESRI</SPAN>

<SPAN class="operator token">-</SPAN><SPAN class="number token">133.8994923441</SPAN> <SPAN class="comment token">// lat</SPAN>
<SPAN class="number token">57.44352239876</SPAN>&nbsp; <SPAN class="comment token">// long‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

If that is indeed the case, why is it so? Or is my assumption of those two being opposite is wrong?

X and Y  like on graph paper.  X is longitude, Y is latitude

There is a history why people say latitude/longitude, sadly... you just have to remember which is which.

Esri has them in the correct order for mapping, Google switches them to conform to the way people 'say' and do things.  To complicate things, sometimes the negative signs are dropped in favor of a N, S, E, W naming convention. S and W are negative for both

Just make sure you are aware of what you get and how you query
