Ѽ There is a fake line in the middle of earth divides the earth into northern hemisphere and
southern hemisphere. This line is called equator.
Ѽ There is another fake line divides the earth into two halves (the eastern hemisphere and
western hemisphere). This line is called prime meridian.
Ѽ Geographers draw lines parallel to the equator these lines that circle the globe are called
latitudes.
Ѽ The equator is one line of latitudes.
Ѽ Geographers draw other lines that run between north and south poles. These lines are
called meridians or longitudes.
Ѽ The prime meridian is one line of longitudes.
Ѽ Each line of longitude or latitudes has a number called degree.
Ѽ The equator and prime meridian are o° degree
Ѽ To give the exact location, find the degrees of longitudes and latitudes.
