2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.
