Question

What is earth's grid system

Answer 1

earth's grid system means globe's grid system the grid system that lies on the globe is formed with the help of latitudes ang longitudes they help ys to find places very accurately

Answer 2

THE EARTH'S GRID SYSTEM

1) the network of latitudes and longitude is called grid

2) it helps us to know the places and the time, temperature ,measure, rainfall ,crops on maps and Globes

3) using an Atlas we can find latitude and longitude of a place

for example

KOBE is name of place

JAPAN is name of country

60 is the page number of Atlas

LATITUDE IS 34°41'N

LONGITUDE IS 135°12'E

4) LATITUDES

THE HORIZONTAL CIRCLE THAT GOES AROUND THE EARTH ARE CALLED LATITUDES AND IN THE MIDDLE AT EQUAL DISTANCE FROM NORTH AND SOUTH POLES IS CALLED EQUATOR ZERO DEGREES LATITUDE FROM EQUATOR GOING TOWARDS PHONE AND PARALLEL CIRCLES RANGES FROM ZERO DEGREES 290 DEGREES NORTH AND SOUTH POLES LATITUDE IS CALLED AS
WIDTH

5) LONGITUDE

LONGITUDES PASSING THROUGH ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY AT GREENWICH OF ENGLAND IS CALLED ZERO DEGREE LONGITUDE ARE PRIME MERIDIAN GREENWICH MERIDIAN THE LONGITUDE FROM TWO GROUPS FROM ZERO DEGREES 180 DEGREES NORTH EAST AND WEST DIRECTIONS TO 10 IN 360 DEGREES EXCLUDING ZERO DEGREES AND 180 DEGREES

6) the longitude 180 degrees directly opposite to zero degrees longitude is called Anti Meridian

7) latitude and longitude imaginary lines which divides the globe into four hemispheres

8) Sun takes 4 minutes to go from one longitude to another longitude

9) world is divided into 24 time zones starting from Greenwich Meridian going towards east and West and the time taken for Shankar complete one time zone is 15 degrees into 4 minutes is equal to 60 minutes or 1 hour

10) some countries choose time along one Meridian that passes through their territory and follows for whole country.

11) 82 degrees is equals to 30 minutes is equals to IST and longitude is the standard Meridian of India and serves as Indian Standard Time ( IST ).

12) the exact difference between Greenwich 0° and IST is 5 and half hours

13) if we travel from west to east you lose 4 minutes which is referred as East Gain Add ( EGA ) and when you are moving from east to west you gain 4 minutes which is referred as West Lost Subtract ( WLS )

hope it helps you
