Using Latitude and Longitude.  Relative location: describing the location of a place in relation to another place.  Absolute location: exact location.

Time Zones Pg 11 The Prime Meridian- is the meridian with a longitude of 0°. It is a basis for standardized time zones. Called Greenwich Standard Time There are 24 time zones.

as a line from which longitude east and west are measured. It was adopted officially in 1884 as a line from which longitude east and west are measured. .It passes through Greenwich, England, home of the Royal Greenwich Observatory. The Observatory was founded in 1675 and closed except as a museum in 1998. The prime meridian, together with its opposite meridian(the International Date Line at 180°) divide the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.

The International Date Line -is the imaginary line on the Earth that separates two consecutive calendar days. -it is at 180°

The date in the Eastern hemisphere, to the left of the line, is always one day ahead of the date in the Western hemisphere. Without the International Date Line travelers going westward would discover that when they returned home, one day more than they thought had passed, even though they had kept careful tally of the days. Likewise, a person traveling eastward would find that one fewer days had elapsed than he had recorded.
