Latitude and Longitude
How do we find places on maps?

Latitude
What is Latitude?
• Lines of Latitude run horizontally• Latitude is measured in degrees.• The Equator is 0 degrees Latitude.• Lines of Latitude locate places North or South of the Equator.
• The North Pole is 90 degrees N Latitude, and the South Pole is 90 degrees S Latitude.
![Page 3: 7 ss latitude & longitude](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050817/5552d702b4c905014c8b46e6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Longitude
• Lines of Longitude run vertically.• They are also called Meridians.• The Prime Meridian is found in Greenwich, England.
• The Prime Meridian is 0 degrees Longitude.
• Lines of Longitude locate places East or West of the Prime Meridian.
• There are 180 degrees of east Longitude, and 180 degrees of west Longitude.

Time Zones
• Time zones are broad strips that measure 15 degrees wide.
• Time zones differ from their neighboring time zones by 1 hour.
• The continental U.S. has 4 time zones, Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific.
• In the Spring we shift the clocks 1 hour ahead. This is called Daylight Saving Time.
• In the Fall we shift the clocks 1 hour back.

Time Zones (cont…) Local Time and
Universal TimeLocal Time- is what we use everyday,
and regulates our lives.Examples of Local Time are: meal time,
sleep time, work time, and school time
Universal Time- is what we use when we need a time that is agreed upon marking time world-wide.
An example when Universal Time was used was when a supernova in 1987 was first seen. Astronomers, and Astronauts use Universal Time..

Time Zones (cont….)
• Greenwich Mean Time- is the time that is registered at Greenwich, England.
**Greenwich Mean Time is another name for Universal Time.
The International Dateline was established following the 180th meridian, where ever we cross it the date advances 1 day ( if you are going west), or goes back 1 day (if you are going east).

Hemispheres
•By using the equator and prime meridian, we can divide the world into four hemispheres, north, south, east, and west.
![Page 19: 7 ss latitude & longitude](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050817/5552d702b4c905014c8b46e6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Compass•A compass is a tool that helps the user know what direction one is headed.
•On a map, a compass or a compass rose helps the user locate these directions.
![Page 21: 7 ss latitude & longitude](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050817/5552d702b4c905014c8b46e6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Compass Rose•The needle on a compass is magnetized to point to the earth's north magnetic pole. Thus with a compass, a person can roughly tell which direction they are headed.
•There are four major or cardinal directions on a compass- north, south, east & west. In between are the directions northeast, northwest, southeast, southwest.

Directions
• The cardinal directions are north, south, east, and west.
• The intermediate directions are northeast, southeast, southwest and northwest.
• They help describe the location of places in relation to other places.
![Page 23: 7 ss latitude & longitude](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050817/5552d702b4c905014c8b46e6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Scale•Maps are made to scale; that is, there is a direct connection between a unit of measurement on the map and the actual distance.
•For example, each inch on the map represents one mile on Earth. So, a map of a town would show a mile-long strip of fast food joints and auto dealers in one inch.

Time Zones
•The Earth is divided into 24 time zones, corresponding to 24 hours in a day.
•As the earth rotates, the sun shines in different areas, moving from east to west during the course of a day.
•Places that have the same longitude will be in the same time zone.
