Latitude Longitude

LATITUDE Distance NORTH & SOUTH of the Equator Equator is 0 degrees North Pole /South Pole 90° N/S Arctic/Antarctic Circles 66.5° N/S Tropics Cancer/Capricorn 23.5° N/S aka parallels

66.5 ⁰ N 23.5⁰ N 0⁰ N 23.5⁰ S 66.5 ⁰ S

The Prime Meridian

Another Marker

Longitude Distance East/West of the Prime Meridian Prime Meridian is 0° International Date Line is 180° aka Meridians

Subdivisions of Latitude 1 degree = 111km = 69 miles 60 parts/degree = minutes 1 minute = 1’ = 1.85 km = 1.1 mile 60 parts/minute = seconds Ex: Washington D.C. 38° 53’ 23” N

Subdivisions of Longitude 1 degree = 111km = 69 miles only at the Equator Lines come together/get closer as you travel North and South 60 parts/degree = minutes 60 parts/minute = seconds Ex Washington D.C. 77° 0’ 33” W

Distance between lines Does not vary for latitude lines Lines of longitude get closer as you move toward the poles

All longitude lines meet at the pole

Washington D.C. 38° 53’51” N 77° 0’ 33” W

You can pinpoint any location
