Latitude
• Circles or lines north and south of the equator are called lines of latitude or PARALLELS.• Latitude is the angular distance north
or south of the equator.
![Page 4: Chapter 3, Section 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56812d37550346895d923978/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Measuring Latitude• Latitude is measured in degrees, it is the
angular distance North or South of the Equator
• Equator is starting point: 0 Degrees• Each line of latitude increases by 15 degrees.• North of the equator = N• South of the equator = S

Measuring Latitude
• Each degree of latitude consists of 60 equal parts called MINUTES (‘)
• Each Minute is divided into 60 SECONDS (“).• Precise Latitude for Washington D.C. =
38˚53’23” North

Longitude
• Longitude shows a location East or West of the PRIME MERIDIAN, 0 degrees.
• It is angular distance east or west of the Prime Meridian.
• Lines of Longitude are in 15 degree increments and are composed of minutes and seconds.

Longitude
• At the equator the distance between each line of longitude is 111 km.
• All meridians meet at the poles, so the distance between each line of longitude (meridian) decreases as you move toward the poles.

Great Circles
• A GREAT CIRCLE is any circle that divides the globe in half.• A GREAT CIRCLE can run in any
direction.• A GREAT CIRCLE is the shortest
distance between 2 points on a sphere.
