• Earth is the third planet from Sun in the Solar System. Earth sustains life.

• Earth is having some 'imaginary lines' referred as Latitudes and Longitudes.

• The parallel circles which start from the the equator till the poles are called of latitudes.

• An imaginary line which is the Equator divides Earth in two equal parts. The northern division done by the line is called Northern Hemisphere and southern division done by it is called the Southern Hemisphere.

• Tropic of Cancer (23½° N)
• Tropic of Capricorn (23½° S)
