How a place on the globe is located with the help of a grid?

A place on the globe is located using a grid system based on lines of latitude and longitude. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure distances north or south of the Equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure distances east or west of the Prime Meridian. By identifying the specific coordinates (degrees of latitude and longitude), one can pinpoint any location on Earth accurately. For example, a location at 40°N latitude and 74°W longitude corresponds to New York City.


If it is 9am in Sydney 150 degrees E what time is it in Tokyo 150 degrees E?

If it is 9am at 150 degrees E longitude in Sydney, and Tokyo is also at 150 degrees E longitude, then both cities are in the same time zone. Therefore, it would also be 9am in Tokyo.

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.
