Lines of Latitude and Longitude

Latitude Latitude: A line on a map or globe that runs east and west and measures distance north or south of the equator

The Equator Equator: A latitude line around the earth, an equal distance from both poles. Measures 0 degrees Starting point for measuring latitude.

Longitude Longitude: A line on a map or globe that runs north and south and measures distance east or west of the Prime Meridian

Prime Meridian Prime Meridian: the zero meridian (0°), used as a reference line from which longitude east and west is measured. Passes through Greenwich, England
