Latitude and Longitude

Latitude and Longitude The earth is divided into lots of lines called latitude and longitude.

Lines Longitude lines or meridians run north and south. Latitude lines or parallels run east and west. The lines measure distances in degrees. Longitude Latitude

Where is 0 degree? Equator The equator is 0 degree latitude. It is an imaginary belt that runs halfway point between the North Pole and the South Pole. Equator

P R I M E D A N Where is 0 degree? The prime meridian is 0 degrees longitude. This imaginary line runs through the United Kingdom, France, Spain, western Africa, and Antarctica.

Hemispheres By using the equator and prime meridian, we can divide the world into four hemispheres, north, south, east, and west.

Latitude The distance from the equator determines the climate of an area

Time Zones The Earth is divided into 24 time zones, corresponding to 24 hours in a day. As the earth rotates, the sun shines in different areas, moving from east to west during the course of a day. Places that have the same longitude will be in the same time zone.
