Latitude and Longitude

Understanding Latitude and Longitude Lines of latitude and lines longitude cross one another. They form a grid system around the earth. Just like your grid maps that you created of your room at home, lines on globes and maps provide information that can help you easily locate places on the earth too. http://www.navfltsm.addr.com/globe.jpg

Latitude Lines of latitude are also called parallels. They circle the earth parallel to the Equator. They measure north and south of equator in degrees. The Equator is at 0° latitude. Maps101.com

Longitude Lines of longitude are also called meridians. They circle the earth from Pole to Pole. They measure east and west of the starting line, at 0° longitude or the Prime Meridian. Maps101.com

Absolute Location Only one place can be found at the point where lines cross one another. Use degrees (°) to give an exact spot where one line of latitude crosses one line of longitude – an absolute location. The grid system formed by lines of latitude and longitude makes it easy to find the absolute location of any place in the world. http://www.navfltsm.addr.com/globe.jpg

Hemispheres The equator circles the middle of the Earth. It divides the earth into hemispheres or “half-spheres.” North of the equator is the Northern Hemisphere. South of the equator is the Southern Hemisphere.

Hemispheres The Prime Meridian runs from north to south. It divides the earth into half spheres in the other direction. East of the Prime Meridian is the Eastern Hemisphere. West of the Prime Meridian is the Western Hemisphere.
