- The 180° line of Longitude is the International Date Line.
Latitude Lines
- There are 180 imaginary circles that extend from side to side of the Earth, from East to West.
- The Equator is the 0° point of Latitude, dividing the Earth into Northern and Southern hemispheres.
- Latitude lines north of the Equator are referred to as North Latitude.
- Latitude lines south of the Equator are referred to as South Latitude.
- Lines of Latitude are parallel to the Equator and perpendicular to the lines of Longitude.
