How are the paralles and meridians numbered?
The 'parallels' of latitude are numbered in degrees north or south of the equator, from zero to 90 degrees. The equator is zero; the poles are 90 degrees north/south. The meridians of longitude all pass through the poles. They're numbered in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian, from zero to 180 degrees. The Prime Meridian ... the line defined as zero longitude ... is the meridian that joins the north and south poles and passes through Greenwich, England. (That's the origin of the terms "near east", "middle east", and "far east" ... they're the regions that are near, medium, and far to the east, beginning in England at the prime meridian.)
