Latitude/Longitude

Absolute Location Determined by latitude and longitude

Longitude Lines on the earth run North to South (up and down) Measure east and west Prime Meridian: most well known line of longitude Zero degrees east and west (runs through England) Divides the world in half

Latitude Lines on the earth that run west and east (left to right) Measure north and south Equator: most well known line of latitude Zero degrees north and south Divides the world in half

Label the spheres

Practice Give the coordinates for the following: Paris, France; Washington, DC; Beijing, China; Cairo, Egypt Open textbook to page A8 and A9. Pick 10 American cities Record their absolute location using lines of latitude and longitude.
