Latitude and Longitude
Today Miss Szymanik helped us to understand what Latitude and longitude are. We wrote this together as a class.
Latitude is an invisible horizontal line that runs around the Earth from East to West.It begins at the equator where it’s coordinates are 0 degrees.
Longitude is the invisible vertical line that runs around the Earth from North to South. The prime meridian is where its coordinates are 0 degrees.
Latitude and Longitude help us label every place in the world.
