The most accurate way to show the geography of the planet is through a globe, which provides a three-dimensional representation of Earth's surface.

Cardinal directions are the four main points of a compass: North, South, East, and West.
These directions are essential for navigation and geographic orientation.

Intermediate directions are the directions that fall between the cardinal directions: Northeast, Southeast, Northwest, and Southwest.
They help provide a more precise location and enhance navigation.

Maps often use a coordinate system, consisting of latitude and longitude, to pinpoint your location on the globe.
Latitude lines run parallel to the equator, while longitude lines run from pole to pole.

Dividing the planet horizontally down the middle is called the Equator.
The Equator separates the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
