IMAGINARY LINESBack
outline
GAME: locate places according to their latitude and longitude.
Meridians
Parallels
Let's find places: World map.
Back outline
The Equator is at 0º. It divides the Earth into the Northern and the Southern Hemispheres.
Parallels are used to measure latitude (the distance to the Equator).
Tropic of Cancer is at 23º 27' N.
Arctic Circle is at 66º 33' N.
Tropic of Capricorn is at 23º 27' S.
Antarctic Circle is at 66º 33' S.

The Greenwich Meridian is at 0º and divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
Meridians are used to measure longitude (the distance to the Greenwich Meridian).

GEOGRAPHIC COORDINATES
The geographic coordinates of a point are its latitude and longitude.
Back
outline
For example, the coordinates of point A are 40º N, 60º E.Because A is found on parallel 40, to the North of the Equator and on meridian 60, to the East of Greenwich Meridian.

TIME ZONES ON EARTH
The Earth's surface has been divided into 24 time zones.
Back
outline
The reference is the zone which corresponds to the Greenwich Meridian.To the West, each zone is one hour earlier. To the East, each zone is one hour later.
