Answer 2

Answer:

1. the angular distance of a place north or south of the earth's equator, or of the equator of a celestial object, usually expressed in degrees and minutes

2. the angular distance of a place east or west of the Greenwich meridian, or west of the standard meridian of a celestial object, usually expressed in degrees and minutes.

3. a half of the earth, usually as divided into northern and southern halves by the equator, or into western and eastern halves by an imaginary line passing through the poles.

5. the mean solar time at the Greenwich meridian, adopted as the standard time in a zone that includes the British Isles.
