Aim: How do we locate positions on Earth? Latitude and Longitude

Roughly spherical (like a basketball) The Shape of Earth Roughly spherical (like a basketball)

Imaginary Lines We use giant circles drawn around the Earth: LEFT and RIGHT: LATITUDE UP and DOWN: LONGITUDE

LATITUDE LEFT And RIGHT (Parallels)

LATITUDE Starting Point = EQUATOR

LATIITUDE How far North or south of the Equator are you?

LONGITUDE UP and DOWN (Meridians)

LONGITUDE Starting point is the Prime Meridian

How far east or west of the prime meridian are you? LONGITUDE How far east or west of the prime meridian are you?
