Longitude, latitude, the equator, and the prime meridian are all components of the Earth's coordinate system, which is used for geographic定位. Longitude lines run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole, while latitude lines run horizontally, measuring distance north or south of the equator. The equator is the zero-degree latitude line, and the prime meridian is the zero-degree longitude line, serving as reference points for navigation and mapping. Together, they help pinpoint locations on the Earth's surface.

Parts of a globe?
A globe typically consists of a spherical model of Earth, a base or stand to keep it upright, and meridians and parallels to represent the lines of longitude and latitude. It may also include political boundaries, topographical features, and ocean currents for additional detail.
Where is longitude and latitude at on a worlds map?
Clever. That's a lot like asking "Where in my body am I ?" Since the system of latitude and longitude is a system invented for the purpose of describing locations on the surface of the earth, and is uniquely and exhaustively appropriate to that purpose, the complete answer consists of two parts: 1). The world is located at every imaginable and every possible latitude and longitude. 2). Every latitude and longitude is a location somewhere in the world.
The degree of longitude is always listed?
Second, after latitude.
What is the measuring units for latitude and longitude?
Latitude and longitude are angles, so they can be expressed in any angle units. Possibilities include radians, degrees, grads, etc. Out of tradition that goes back to the ancient Greeks who invented geographic coordinates, they're virtually always expressed in degrees and their sub-parts. Sub-parts of degrees can be either decimal degrees, or the clunky and unwieldy minutes and seconds.
What are the four parts of the grid system?
longitude, latitude, equator, prime meridian
What divides the world into two parts?
The Equator (latitude) and the Prime Meridian (longitude).
Two hemispheres of latitude and two hemispheres of longitude divide the earth into how many parts?
The Earth is divided into four parts based on the intersections of the equator (latitude) and the prime meridian (longitude). These parts are the Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, Eastern Hemisphere, and Western Hemisphere.
What divides earth into two parts?
The equator, which is a line of latitude and divides the Earth into northern and southern hemispheres. And prime meridian, which is a line of longitude and divides the Earth into eastern and western hemispheres.
What are the important parts of a globe?
The key parts of a globe include the equator, which divides the globe into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, the prime meridian, which divides the globe into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, and the latitude and longitude lines used for location coordinates. Other important parts include the continents, oceans, and countries represented on the globe.

What are the parts of globe?
The main parts of a globe include the base, meridian lines, latitude lines, longitude lines, equator, prime meridian, poles, and oceans and continents marked on its surface. These components help in representing the Earth's geographical features accurately in a three-dimensional form.
Parts of the globe?
There are two different types of lines: lines of latitude and lines of longitude (also called meridians). The lines of latitude go around the globe horizontally. The center line is the Equator. Lines of longitude go around the globe vertically. The center one is called the Prime Meridian. These different lines together form a grid on a globe that's used to find locations of Earth's surface. The Equator and the Prime Meridian also divide the Earth into Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western hemispheres.
What is the degree distance from the prime meridian west to the internatinatinal date line?
Large parts of the International Dateline coincide with the meridian of 180° longitude, but other parts deviate from it quite a bit. The meridian of 180° longitude is 180° from the Prime Meridian, both east and west.
The degree of longitude is always listed?
Second, after latitude.
