Study Notes
Introduction to Latitudes and Longitudes
- The shape of the Earth is approximately spherical.
- The Earth can be divided into a network of latitudes and longitudes to locate a point on the globe.
Latitudes
- Latitudes are imaginary circles parallel to the equator, ranging from 0° to 90° North (N) and South (S).
- Each latitude is an imaginary circle centered on the Earth, with the equator being 0° latitude.
- The distance between two latitudes is approximately 111 km at the equator, decreasing towards the poles.
Longitudes
- Longitudes are imaginary lines that connect the North and South Poles, ranging from 0° to 180° East (E) and West (W).
- The distance between two longitudes is approximately 111 km at the equator, decreasing towards the poles.
- Time zones are determined by longitudes, with a difference of 1 hour for every 15° change in longitude.
Calculating Time and Longitude
- Local time can be calculated by subtracting 4 minutes for every 1° change in longitude west of the reference meridian.
- Standard time zones are used to synchronize clocks globally, preventing confusion between different local times.
Importance of Latitudes and Longitudes
- The combination of latitudes and longitudes allows for precise location identification on the Earth's surface.
- Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks, and it is essential to read all scheme-related documents carefully.
