1. Where are things located on Earth?

2. Relative Location
Description of a location in relation to another location
E.g. Our school is on the east side of Mount Pleasant Rd.

3. Absolute Location
Description of an exact location

4. Lines on the Earth Latitude
imaginary lines that measure the distance (in degrees) north or south of the Equator (0°)
This divides the Earth into 2 main parts, the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
lines are parallel to the Equator at regular intervals (approximately 111 kilometres apart)

5. Lines on the Earth Longitude
imaginary lines that measure the distance (in degrees) east or west of the Prime Meridian (0°). This divides the Earth into two equal parts, the Eastern and Western hemispheres
all lines begin and end at the poles and therefore are not at a fixed distance apart
the Prime Meridian (0°) was arbitrarily chosen at a point that runs through Greenwich, England
the International Date Line (180°) is the point where one day begins and one day ends
