Answer:
A graticule on the Earth as a sphere or an ellipsoid. The lines from pole to pole are lines of constant longitude, or meridians. The circles parallel to the Equator are circles of constant latitude, or parallels. The graticule shows the latitude and longitude of points on the surface. In this example, meridians are spaced at 6° intervals and parallels at 4° intervals.
Time zones are described as per their distance east or west of the prime meridian. As for this, every 15° eastward the time is 1 hour ahead because the earth moves west to east. Now the time was calculated in the base of GMT.
hope its helpful
Answer:
1) There are 360 degrees in a circle . Longitude and latitude are expressed in this way because Earth is a sphere . Any line drawn around the Earth, then, is a circle. Thus, Longitude and latitudes are expressed in the terms of degrees because degrees are part of circles and lines running around the Earth.
