Latitude and Longitude

Why?  What is the benefit of using this system??

Latitude  Lines are drawn East & West / Right & Left  Measure N & S

Latitude  0 degrees = Equator

Longitude  Lines are drawn N & S / up & down  Measure E & W

Longitude  0 degrees = Prime Meridian

Which way to warmth?  If you were in NY City, which way?

 Changes in LATITUDE make changes in ATTITUDE

East to west coast??  If you wanted to go from NY to San Fran...

Longitude!  If you wanted to go from NY to San Fran...

Practice  What is the Lat. and Long. for Washington DC?
