Can someone tell me how this is a timeline? My teacher told me this is not a timeline.. its info about longitude and longitude.

2. The image below shows only the latitude
lines. Latitude is the angular distance
north or south of the equator. The lines
get shorter when they get closer to the
poles and also run in an east to west
direction.
The degrees start from 0 and goes up to 90.

3. The equator is an imaginary line that is
located at 0 degrees latitude. The line is the
longest of all the latitude lines, and runs
through parts of South America, Asia, and
Africa.

4. The Tropic of Cancer is an imaginary line
that is 23.5 degrees north of the equator.
This line of latitude is the northernmost
point where the sun’s rays can hit directly
overhead at 12:00 pm. The Tropic of
Cancer runs through Hawaii, parts of
Central America, northern Africa, Sahara
Desert, and near Kolkata, India.

5. The Tropic of Capricorn is an imaginary
line that is 23.5 degrees south of the
equator. This line of latitude is the
southernmost point on Earth where the
sun’s rays can be directly overhead at
12:00 pm. The tropic of Capricorn runs
through and near places like Brazil,
Madagascar and Australia. Mainly, this
line runs through water.

6. The Arctic Circle is an imaginary line that is
about 66.5 degrees north of the equator. The
Arctic Circle is also the name for the region
around the North Pole. The climate is very
cold and the area is always covered in ice.

7. The Antarctica Circle is an imaginary line that
is about 66 degrees south of the equator. This
line separates the South Frigid Zone and the
South Temperate Zone. The Antarctica Circle
marks the southernmost point at which the
sun can be seen during the winter solstice.

8. The North Pole is the northernmost point where the
Earth’s axis meets with the surface. This is where all
the longitude lines meet. The North Pole is 90
degrees latitude and is located in the Arctic Ocean.
There is no time zone in the North Pole.
Gillis, T. (Photographer). [Web Map]. Retrieved from http://www.yourdictionary.com/north-pole

9. The 45th parallel is the line of latitude that is halfway
between the Equator and the North Pole. This line
runs through Europe, Asia, the Pacific Ocean, north
America, and the Atlantic Ocean. The degree of the
45th parallel is 45 degrees latitude.

10. The South Pole is the southernmost part on
the Earth. All the directions are north when
at the South Pole. You will find this pole on
the continent Antarctica. The exact location
of the South Pole is always moving because
of plate tectonics.

11. The image above shows only the lines of longitude. The
lines of latitude cross the Equator at right angles, are
equal in length and run in a north-south direction but the
distance is measured in an east or west direction from the
prime meridian. Another name for the lines of longitude is
meridians.

12. [Web Map]. Retrieved from http://kids.britannica.com/comptons/art-54584/Facts-about-Lines-of-Longitude-Are-known-as-meridians
The prime meridian is 0 degrees longitude.
The line that is considered the official
meridian is the one that runs through
Greenwich, England. This is because any
line of longitude can be a prime meridian.
(This is known as arbitrary)

The International Date Line is what marks the
divide where the date changes by one day.
This imaginary line is on the 180 degree line
of longitude. This line is not a straight line
and goes through the Pacific Ocean. The left
side of the line is one day ahead of the right
side.
