• Major latitude lines includes..
• Equator which is 0 degrees
• North Pole which is 90 degrees north
• South Pole which is 90 degreesThe lines
• Arctic Circle is 66 degrees and 32' north
• Antarctic Circle is 66 degrees and 32' south
• Tropic of Cancer is 23 degrees and 30' north
• Tropic of Capricorn is 23 degrees and 30' south

longitude:

• The lines of longitude run north and south. They are used to define the East-West position of a location on the planet. They run perpendicular to the Equator and latitude lines.
• Half of a longitudinal circle is called a Meridian, which is where the term comes from in the name Greenwich Meridian or Prime Meridian.
• Because the Earth is essentially a spherical shape, it is considered to have 360 degrees. Therefore, the planet has been divided into 360 longitudes as a form of measurement.

The Earth is divided into degrees of longitude and latitude which helps us measure location and time using a single standard. When used together, longitude and latitude define a specific location through geographical coordinates
