Introduction to Latitude and Longitude

Lines of Latitude First, lines of latitude run parallel to the equator while lines of longitude do not These lines are called parallel because they never intersect Each degree of latitude is equal to 111 kilometers (km) on the Earth’s surface

LINES OF LONGITUDE 1350E 900E 450 E Lines of longitude, which run the length of Earth (think long), go from the North Pole to the South Pole and intersect lines of latitude at right angle Imagine Earth as a circle Like all circles, it can be divided into 360 degrees Each degree is a line of longitude There are 180 degrees

Latitude and Longitude

Finding your location throughout

the world!

What is Latitude?

• Latitude is defined as a measurement of distance in degrees north and south of the equator • The word latitude is derived from the

Latin word, "latus",

meaning "wide."

What is Latitude

• There are 90 degrees of latitude from the equator to each of the poles, north and south. • Latitude lines are parallel, that is they are the same distance apart • These lines are sometimes refered to as parallels.

The Equator

• The equator is the longest of all lines of latitude • It divides the earth in half and is measured as 0° (Zero degrees).

North and South Latitudes

• Positions on latitude lines above the equator are called "north" and are in the northern hemisphere. • Positions on latitude lines below the equator are called "south" and are in the southern hemisphere.

Let's take a quiz

Pull out your white boards

Lines of latitude are

______________ to the equator

Parallel

There are __________ degrees

of latitude north and south of the equator. 90

The equator is ___________

degrees. 0

Another name for latitude lines

is ______________.

Parallels

The equator divides the earth

into ___________ equal parts. 2

Great Job!!!

Lets Continue!

What is Longitude?

• Longitude is defined as measurement of distance in degrees east or west of the prime meridian. • The word longitude is derived from the

Latin word, "longus",

meaning "length."

What is Longitude?

• The Prime Meridian, as do all other lines of longitude, pass through the north and south pole. • They make the earth look like a peeled orange.

The Prime Meridian

• The Prime meridian divides the earth in half too. • It is also 0°. It passes through the community of Greenwich,

England.

The International Date Line

The International Date Line

• There are 180 lines of longitude on each side of the prime meridian. • But on the opposite side, the primer meridian is not zero degrees but 180°. • It is called the

International Date Line.

East and West Longitudes

• Longitude lines to the left of the prime meridian give locations west, in the western hemisphere. • Longitude lines to the right of the primer meridian give locations east, in the eastern hemisphere.

Here's another quiz!

Pull out your whiteboards again!

Longitude lines connect the

_____________ pole with the ____________ pole. North South

The line of 0° longitude is called

the _________ ___________.

Prime Meridian

Longitude lines give directions

________________ and ________________ of the prime meridian. East West

There are _____________

degrees of longitude on each side of the prime meridian. 180

Longitude lines are not

______________ like latitude lines.

Parallel

Great Job!Let's Continue

Using Latitude and Longitude

• To fine your exact location on a map, you need to determine which latitude line and which longitude line meet where you are standing. • When writing locations, the latitude is given first. - For example • Miami, Florida, has a location of 25° North and 80° West. • This is usually written in a short form as 25° N 80° W

Lets Practice

• Give the Latitude and

Longitude of each of

the following shapes. - Viking Ship________ - Hurricane_________ - Tourist___________ - Rafter____________ - Whale____________ - Canoeists_________ - Flying Bird_________
