LINES ON THE GLOBE Basic Understanding 1) Latitude – distance between two parallels measured north or south of the Equator. 2) Longitude – distance between two meridians measured east or west of the Prime Meridian. 3) Meridians – are imaginary lines that meet at the poles. 4) Parallels – are imaginary lines running in an east-west direction around the Earth. 5) Meridians and parallels – are imaginary lines that help in establishing locations of places on Earth. Lines refer to “parallels and meridians”. Distances refer to “latitudes and longitudes”. Parallels of Latitudes Equator – parallel located at the center and whose length is equal to the circumference of the earth. Great Circle – largest parallel, the only Great Circle among the parallels. Special Parallels  Arctic Circle – located at 66 ½ o north of the equator. It marks the northernmost limit of the Sun’s oblique or slanting rays.  Tropic of Cancer – lies 23 ½ o north of the equator. Marks the northernmost limit of the Sun’s vertical rays.  Equator – designated Oo latitude, located at the center of the Earth and divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. - The reference point in measuring distances north and south moving toward the poles.  Tropic of Capricorn - lies 23 ½ o south of the equator. Marks the southernmost limit of the Sun’s vertical rays.  Antarctic Circle - located at 66 ½ o south of the equator. It marks the southernmost limit of the Sun’s oblique or slanting rays. Meridians of Longitudes Meridians – line running vertically about the Earth. • Two meridians opposite each other form a Great Circle. • Meridians are arcs of Great Circles. SPECIAL MERIDIANS 1. Prime Meridian – line designated Oo longitude and which passes through Greenwich, England. Also called Greenwich Meridian. - It is the reference point in measuring distances eastward or westward. 2. International Date Line (IDL) – directly opposite of the prime meridian in a line designated 18Oo longitude. - It is not a straight line that deviates eastward and westward upon crossing certain places to allow land areas and island groups to have the same calendar day.
