Latitude and Longitude

Do Now Draw a map of this classroom. Use a key to label 5 important items in this room.

Latitude Lines that run east and west Show the distance north or south of the equator. Called parallels: they are parallel to each other, are always the same distance apart, and never meet.

Lines of Latitude

Equator Line that is halfway between the North and South Poles Divides the earth into the Northern and Southern Hemisphere and is marked 0 degrees

Equator on Globe

Equator on Map

Longitude Lines that run north and south Show the distance (in degrees) east or west of the Prime Meridian Called meridians: run from the North Pole to the South Pole, they meet at the Earth’s poles, and they are farthest apart from each other at the Equator.

Lines of Longitude

Prime Meridian Line that runs north and south through Greenwich, England, near the city of London Divides the eastern and western hemisphere and is marked 0 degrees

Prime Meridian on Globe
