Circles parallel to the Equator (lines running east and west) are parallels of latitude. They are used to measure degrees of latitude north or south of the Equator. The angular distance from the Equator to the pole is one-fourth of a circle or 90. The 48 conterminous states of the United States are located between 25 and 49 N. latitude. The arrows in figure 8-2 labeled âLATITUDEâ point to lines of latitude.
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.
