Answer:
7.The prime meridian is the line of 0 longitude, the starting point for measuring distance both east and west around the Earth. The prime meridian is arbitrary, meaning it could be chosen to be anywhere.
8.Latitudinal lines run around the Earth and are parallel to the Equator. Longitudinal lines, also called meridians, are half circles that run from the North Pole to the South Pole. We give points on the Earth's surface using the following format: Latitude Degrees N or S, Longitude Degrees E or W.
9.Time is kept from an imaginary line running through Greenwich, England, called the Prime Meridian. The International Date Line is an imaginary line located halfway around the world at roughly 180 degrees longitude that separates one day from the next.
