Differentiate between latitudes and longitudes.
3. Which is the most important latitude and why?
4. What is a grid system?
5. Which meridian is accepted as the 0° or Prime Meridian? Name the village and

( 2.
Define the following.

Latitudes are the imaginary horizontal lines on the map of the earth that running from east to west, it moves parallel to the equator. The Antarctic Circle has 667° South latitude whereas Arctic circle has 667° North latitude and the equator has 0° latitude. Equator has 0 latitude that divides the earth exactly into two halves. Longitudes are also called meridians whereas when the longitudes and latitudes intersect with each other forming grids. Imaginary lines are drawn on the surface of the globe in order to find the location of different regions. The Tropic Of Cancer i.e. 23.5 degree North is the most important latitude because it receives direct sunlight of the sun and have a diverse ecosystem. Royal Observatory, Greenwich, in London, England is the place where the Prime meridian passes.
