THE EARTH : OUR HABITAT

There are ma proots that the Earth is round. The stron who went

to spare have take photograplus of the Earth which prove that the Earth

The Globe is a small replies of the Earth. If we observe it, we can see some

Borontal times and vertical fees om These are tagnary times and not

draw the Earth. The horizontal lines on the gobe are called Latitudes

and the vertical lines are called Longitudes

• The horizontal time which passes exactly through the middle of the globe is

know as the Equator. It is a O Lamade to divides the Earth into two equal

parts. The upper part is known as Northern hemisphere and the lower part

is known as the Southern hemisphere

There are 90 latitudes de consecutives

one atler another to the north from the

equatior. Similarly there are 90 larmides

to the south of equator also. All ladies

are parallel to each other.

• The Equator is the largest lachade. Every

Bastude to north or south becomes

smaller and becomes just a point instead

of actrese in extreme north and south

The point of the northern 90% Latitude is

known as North Pole and the point of

the southem 90 Latitude is known as

South Pole. These are the end points of

the ads of the globe

As the Earth is incline at 23.5" the

23.5' N. atitude (Tropic of Cancer) and the

235 S Latitude (Trople of Capricorn) are

The Globe

important latitudes. Similarly the 66.5N

lattade (Arctic Circle) and 23.5*. lade (Antarctic Circle) are also importan

Every longtade is semicircle connecting North Pole and the South Pole

which means that all the longitudes meet each rth is round, the

sunrays fall vertical direct slant diagonal or very slant on different partal direct suns concentrate on a small part of the Earth's surface

and also ll over a larger arca of die Earth and pass over a large

area of the atmosphere, so they give less heat
