Latitude is the measurement of distance north or south of the Equator. It is measured with 180 imaginary lines that form circles around the Earth east-west, parallel to the Equator. These lines are known as parallels. A circle of latitude is an imaginary ring linking all points sharing a parallel.

Longitude is a way to say where a place is on the Earth. It is measured starting from an imaginary north-south line called the Prime Meridian. (A meridian is an imaginary line drawn from the North Pole to the South Pole.)

The geographic grid uses latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines are invisible lines that run east to west around Earth

Universal Time (UT1): Also known as astronomical time or solar time, it refers to the Earth's rotation. It is used to compare the pace provided by TAI with the actual length of a day on Earth.

The international date line is defined as an imaginary line that goes north and south through the Pacific Ocean, one day is on the east side of the line and the following day is on the west side.

A Great Circle is any circle that circumnavigates the Earth and passes through the center of the Earth. A great circle always divides the Earth in half, thus the Equator is a great circle (but no other latitudes) and all lines of longitude are great circles.

Explanation:

1. Latitude: latitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the north south position of a point on the Earth's surface. Latitude is an angle which ranges from 0° at the Equator to 90° at the poles.

2. Longitude: Longitude is the measurement east or west of the prime meridian. Longitude is measured by imaginary lines that run around the Earth vertically and meet at the North and South Poles.

3. Geographic Grid: The geographic grid refers to the internationally recognized system of latitude and longitude used to location positions on Earth's surface.

4. Universal Time: Universal Time is a solar time standard used in astronomy and to define time on Earth

5. International Date Line: The international date line is defined as an imaginary line that goes north and south through the Pacific Ocean, one day is on the east side of the line and the following day is on the west side.

6. Great Circle: A great circle is the largest possible circle that can be drawn around a sphere. The Equator is another of the Earth's great circles. If you were to cut into the Earth right on its Equator, you'd have two equal halves. the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
