  1. Important parallels of latitudes North Pole (90°N) Northern Hemisphere Arctic Circle (66° 30´N) Tropic of Cancer (23° 30´N) Equator (0°) Tropic of Capricorn (23° 30´S) Southern Hemisphere Antarctica Circle 66° 30´S South Pole (90°S)

  2. Meridian of longitude • The Prime Meridian is the meridian (line of longitude) at which the longitude is defined to be 0°. • An international conference in 1884 decided the modern Prime Meridian passes through the Royal Observatory, Greenwich in southeast London, United Kingdom, known as the International Meridian or Greenwich Meridian, although the Prime Meridian is ultimately arbitrary unlike the parallels of latitude Prime Meridian (0°) Western Hemisphere Eastern Hemisphere

  3. International Date Line International date line (180 ͦ) • The Prime Meridian and its opposite the 180th meridian (at 180° longitude), which the International Date Line generally follows, form a great circle that divides the Earth into the Eastern and WesternHemispheres. Eastern Hemisphere Western Hemisphere
