Answer:
There are two reference points on the Earth- the North Pole and South Pole. With the help of these two points it has been possible to draw the Equator, as it lies exactly midway between the poles. In order to locate places accurately, a network of lines are drawn o the globe.

The earth being spherical in shape has no edges or corners which can be used as reference points in locating the places. However, the end points of the imaginary axis of the earth on which it rotates, provide us two basic points of reference. These end points of the earth's axis are called North Pole and South Pole.
