Latitude is your position north or south of the Equator. Lines, or parallels, are drawn around the Earth at intervals. The North Pole is assigned the latitude 90Âº north and the South Pole latitude 90Âº south. Lines of longitude, or meridians, are drawn a little differently.
A GRID! Now we can locate places by giving their latitude and longitude. For example, the latitude of the blue dot is 40Â° N, and its longitude is 60Â° W. (DON'T FORGET, I've only shown latitudes at 10 degree intervals and longtitude at 15 degree intervals!). Now let's see if you can do it, Lou! I've labeled the equator and the prime meridian.
