22. LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE
Every location on earth has a global address.
The address is in numbers; therefore, people can communicate about location no matter what language they speak.
Global address is given as two numbers called “coordinates”
The two numbers are a location’s latitude number and longitude number.
Latitude and Longitude works with a numbered grid system (like graph paper) however latitude lines and longitude lines curve with the shape of the earth.
Location is where the two lines intersect.

23. Latitude
Lines of Latitude are horizontal. They are known as “parallels” because they run parallel to the equator.
Lines of latitude are a numerical way to measure how far north or south of the equator a place is located.
Latitude degrees get larger the further you get from the equator all they way to 90 degrees latitude at the poles.
