ACUTAL Regents Do Now: As a person travels due west across New York State, the altitude of Polaris will ① decrease ② increase ③ remain the same

Another ACUTAL Regents Do Now: As a person travels northward from the Equator, the altitude of Polaris will appear to ① decrease ② increase ③ remain the same

Latitude is FLATitude – When viewed on a standard map, latitude lines are horizontal. If a coordinate is above the equator, then it is NORTH. If a coordinate is below the equator, then it is SOUTH.

Yet Another ACUTAL Regents Question: What is the Latitude and Longitude of point L? ① 5°E, 30°N ② 5°W, 30°S ③ 5°N, 30°E ④5°S, 30°W

Try it! Plot and label the 5 locations using their coordinates.
