Maps Latitude and Longitude

Latitude AKA- Parallels Run horizontally, east and west Creates Northern and Southern Hemisphere Measured from 090ºNorth in northern hemisphere Measured from 090ºSouth in southern hemisphere

Latitude continued Important latitude lines: Tropic of Cancer- 23ºN Equator-0º Tropic of Capricorn-23ºS Arctic Circle- 60ºN Antarctic Circle- 60ºS

Latitude Lines of latitude run all the way around the Earth Lines of latitude are not all the same length

Longitude AKA meridians Run north and south (vertically) Create eastern and western hemisphere Measured from 0-180ºE in the Eastern hemisphere Measured from 0-180ºW in the western hemisphere

Longitude Cont. Important Longitude lines Prime meridian- 0º International Date line-180º Meridians are all the same length
