There are several lines that encompass the Earth

  • Equator - Bisects the earth into the north and south hemispheres. It runs from east to west perpendicular to the axis of the Earth.

  • Lines of longitude - Longitudinal lines run from pole to pole and allow us to measure from east to west.

  • Lines of latitude - Latitudinal lines are parallel to the Equator and allow us to measure from north to south.

  • The Prime Meridian and the 180th Meridian - These two lines are where we bisect the Earth into the east and west hemispheres. The Prime Meridian is at 0° and 180th Meridian is at 180°
