2. Longitude and latitude
●The girds of intersecting lives on a globe enables
us to identify every location on Earth whith a set of
numbers or leters . The symbol for degrees is
º.Ptolemy wrote that the furtest point at the right or
left side of a circle or a sphere is 90 degrees from
the top .There are 180º between any two sides of
a circle or sphere.
●This means that the north and south poles are
180º apart from one another , and both poles are
90º from the Equator
●

3. Parallels
● All east – west lines are equidistants from each
other .Every point on a given east west line,
therefore ,in the same distance from the
equator , the same distance from the North
Pole ,and the same distance from the South
Pole. For this reason east west lines , or lines of
latitude are comonly to as parallels of latitude ,
or simply parallels.

4. Meridians
● They are north – south lines,or lines of
longitude .They are commonly refered to as
meridians of longitude , or simply meridians .
The zero , or base line for numbering the north
– south lines , is called the prime meridian or
Greenweech Meridian . Each meridian goes
only halfway around the Earth from Pole to
● Pole . Each has a twin on the other side of the
other side of the Earth.Like the Prime Meridian
and the 180th Meridian , all such pairs of
Meridians form circles that cut the Earth into
