Latitude: What is it?

Latitude is the angular distance, measured in degrees, north or south of the equator. It's like drawing imaginary lines around the Earth, parallel to the equator.

Longitude: What is it?

Longitude is the angular distance, measured in degrees, east or west of the prime meridian. It's like drawing imaginary lines from the North Pole to the South Pole.

What is the equator?

The equator is an imaginary circle around the Earth that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

What is the prime meridian?

The prime meridian is an imaginary line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole and divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
