HELLO MY DEAR FRIEND 

> WE FIND MANY LINES THAT ACROSS THE GLOBE. SOME LINES RUN      FROM NORTH POLE TO THE SOUTH POLE. THE OTHERS RUN                AROUND THE EARTH FROM THE WEST TO EAST. THESE IMAGINARY  LINES ARE DRAWN BY MAP MAKERS HELP US TO LOCATE PLACES  ON THE GLOBE AND MAPS. 

                                      LATITUDES 

THE DISTANCE NORTH OR SOUTH OF THE EQUATOR, WHICH IS MEASURED IN DEGREES.THESE LINES ARE THE IMAGINARY LINES THAT WHICH ARE DRAWN FROM THE DIRECTION WEST TO EAST IS KNOW AS LATITUDES. THE LONGEST OF THESE LINES IS CALLED THE EQUATOR. EQUATOR DIVIDES THE GLOBE INTO TWO EQUAL HALVES KNOW AS HEMISPHERE. 

                                    LONGITUDES 

THESE IMAGINARY LINES RUM FROM THE ONE POLE TO THE OTHER POLE. UNLIKE THE LATITUDES, THESE LINES ARE OF THE SAME LENGTH. THERE ARE TWO MAIN LONGITUDES - THE GREENWICH LINE, WHICH IS KNOW AS 0 DEGREE LONGITUDE,AND THE INTERNATIONAL DATE LINE, WHICH IS KNOW AS 180 DEGREES EAST / WEST LONGITUDE. 

                            ABOUT LONGITUDE AND LATITUDE 

THE LONGITUDES AND LATITUDES CREATES A NET THAT COVERS THE MAP AND HELPS US TO LOCATE PLACES. IF WE KNOW LONGITUDE AND LATITUDE OF A PLACE, THEN WE CAN EASILY LOCATE IT ON THE GLOBE OR A MAP.  

I HOPE THIS WILL HELP'S U...............*-*
