Question

latitude nd longitude lines ka defination dedo but net se mtt dena ... nhi toh sir dhoyengy​

Answer 1

Latitude

Lines of latitude measure north-south positions between the poles.

The lines are measured in degrees. The Equator is 0 degrees (0°). The North Pole is 90 degrees North (90°N). The South Pole is 90 degrees South (90°S). Lines of latitude are all parallel to each other so they are sometimes called parallels.

Parallel lines are like railway tracks they never meet.

Longitude

Lines of longitude measure east-west positions between the poles. The lines are measured in degrees. Lines of longitude are also called meridians. 0 degree longitude runs through Greenwich in England. This is called the prime meridian.

Lines to the west of 0° are measured in degrees west. Lines to the east of 0° are measured in degrees east.

Lines of longitude are not parallel because they meet at the North Pole and at the South Pole.

Answer 2

Explanation:

LINES OF LATITUDE - SHORTCUT

The lines running east to west, parallel to the Equator are called lines of latitude. A latitude is marked in degrees, with the Equator being 0 degrees. Latitudes are expressed in minutes (') and seconds (''). These lines show us the width of the map. Every latitude must be designated with direction- N for 'north' or S for 'south.' Equator is the largest among all the latitudes.

DEFINE GEOGRAPHIC GRID - SHORTCUT

The geographic grid is a system designed to pinpoint any location on Earth by laying a vertical and horizontal grid over the Earth's layout. The vertical lines are called the longitude and the horizontal lines are the latitude. The intersection of these two points determines any exact location.

NATURE OF LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE IN TERMS OF X-AXIS AND Y-AXIS - SHORTCUT

The grid on the globe serves the same purpose as does the system of coordinates on the x-axis and y-axis on a graph paper. In this case, the x-axis is represented by lines of latitude and y-axis by lines of longitude.

CHARACTERISTICS OF LINES OF LATITUDE - SHORTCUT

Lines of latitude run east-west but provide north-south locational reference. Since the lines of latitude are parallel to the equator and each other, they are called parallels of latitude. They are numbered from the equator which is the 0-degree line of latitude. The equator divides the world into northern and southern hemispheres. Only one line of latitude, i.e., the equator is a great circle.

MAIN LATITUDES - SHORTCUT

The seven important lines of latitude are the equator at 0 degrees, Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5 degrees south, Tropic of Cancer at 23.5 degrees north, Antarctic Circle at 66.5 degrees south, Arctic Circle at 66.5 degrees north, the South Pole at 90 degrees south and the North Pole at 90 degrees north.

THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN HEMSIPHERE - SHORTCUT

The Northern Hemisphere is the half of Earth that is north of the equator. It has about 90 percent of world's population and most of the world's land. All of North America and Europe are in the Northern Hemisphere.

The Southern Hemisphere contains all or parts of five continents, including all of Antarctica, Australia, almost all of South America, the southern third of Africa and some southern islands in Asia (parts of Indonesia). Compared to the Northern Hemisphere, the Southern Hemisphere has fewer land masses and more water.
