6. Lines that run horizontally,
from East/West.
Also known as
parallels since they
are parallel and are
an equal distant
from each other.

9. Latitude is measured in degrees.
Each degree of latitude is
approximately 69 miles (111 km)
apart.
Degrees latitude are numbered
from 0° to 90° north and south.
The Equator is 0 degrees latitude.
10. Therefore, Latitude is
defined as a measurement of
distance in degrees north
and south of the equator
derived from the Latin
word, “latus”, meaning
“wide.”
11.
12. The longest of
all lines of
latitude that
divides the
earth in half
and is
measured
as 0° (Zero
degrees).
The imaginary line which
divides our planet into the
northern and southern
hemispheres. 90° north is
the North Pole and 90°
south is the South Pole.
13.
14. Lines of longitude run vertically.
They are also called Meridians. The
Prime Meridian is 0 degrees Longitude.
The Prime Meridian is found in
Greenwich, England.
There are 180 degrees of east
Longitude, and 180 degrees of west
Longitude.
15. Lines of Longitude locate places East or
West of the Prime Meridian.
They converge at the poles and are
widest at the equator (about 69 miles or
111 km apart).
The degrees continue 180° east and 180°
west where they meet and form the
International Date Line in the Pacific
Ocean.

60. Generally refers to any of
the 24 regions of the
Earth’s surface, loosely
divided by longitude, in
which standard time is
kept.
61. • measured by reference the
prime meridian which runs
through Greenwich,
England, commonly
referred to time as
Greenwich Mean Time –
GMT.
62. •Coordinated Universal Time
(UTC) which uses an atomic
time clock to regulate world
time. UTC is used as a
starting point to determine
time in other countries
worldwide.
63. •The world rotates West to
East (counterclockwise),
time zones to the east are
ahead of the those time
zones to the West.
64. EAST INCREASE
Time is forward to all places
to the east
WEST LESS
Time is backward to all
places to the west

Notice how the time zone for
Greenwich, England starts at 7.5°W
and ends at 7.5°E!
0° longitude is in the middle of the

As you travel East, the time becomes
LATER by 1 hour for each time zone!
Each time zone is 15° wide!

But, as you cross the I.D.L., there is NO
time change, only a date change!

for giving us another day to learn
new things and share them to
others. Forgive us, oh Lord, for the
bad acts we committed against other

80. The movement of the Earth affects
the seasons and the occurrence of
day and night.
The Earth spins on its axis which is
called revolution.
Revolution causes the occurrence
of day and night in Earth.
81. Rotation affects the temperature of
the Earth within a day.
The Earth rotates around the sun
in an elliptical orbit.
Leap year for every four years is
caused by the revolution of the
Earth.
82. Earth is said to be perihelion when
it is farthest from the sun.
Earth is said to be aphelion when it
is closest from the sun.
The different seasons occur because
of the tilting of the Earth.
The location of an area in the globe
determines the season it will
experience.

Time for one rotation = 24 hours

91. • Twice during the year, the Sun
reaches its greatest distance
north or south of the equator
and is directly over either the
Tropic of Cancer or the Tropic
of Capricorn. These times are
known as the summer and
winter solstices.
92. • Summer solstice
is when the Sun is
highest in the sky
at noon.
• The opposite of this
for each hemisphere
is winter solstice,
which is when the
Sun is lowest at
noon.
93. • At an equinox, (EE
kwuh nahks) when
the Sun is directly
above Earth’s
equator, the lengths
of day and night are
nearly equal all over
the world. During
equinox, Earth’s tilt
is neither toward nor
away from the Sun.
