Latitude and Longitude

_____________ and ______________ are used to locate a place.

• Latitudes and Longitudes

• Longitudes and Equator

• Equator and Latitudes

Latitudes are the imaginary lines drawn to the __________

• Tropic of Cancer

• Tropic of Capicron

• Equator

• Northern Hemisphere

• Southern Hemisphere

The latitudes and longitudes are measured in

• Miles

• Kilometers

• Percentage

• Degrees

Around (a)   June, the sun it overhead the tropic of Capricorn

When does the beginning of summer marked in the northern hemisphere?

• When the sun is directly overhead the tropic of capricorn on 21 December

• When the sun is directly overhead the tropic of cancer on 21 December

• When the sun is directly overhead the tropic of capricorn on 21 June.

• When the sun is directly overhead the tropic of cancer on 21 June.

Find the word written after north and south. Hint: Its a type of thing which handles any flag.

(a)  

What is the significance of the Tropic of Cancer?

• It marks the northernmost point where the sun can be directly overhead.

• It is the line of zero longitude.

• It divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

• It is the southernmost point where the sun can be directly overhead.

Which of the following best describes longitudes?

• They are horizontal lines that run parallel to the Equator.

• They are vertical lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole.

• They measure the distance between the Tropic of Cancer and the Equator.

• They are used to measure time zones across the globe.

Can we touch the longitudes and latitudes? If not, why not, and how did the scientists learn about them? Think wisely before answering.
15 minutes are given for some reason for this question. :) (Hint: there are 2 correct answers.)

• Because Earth is Sphere that is why scientists came to know that earth has longitudes and latitudes

• Because Earth is Oval that is why scientists came to know that earth is curved equally.

• Because of the curve in Earth, the longitudes and latitudes are formed by an imaginary lines which are horizontally and vertically.

• Since the longitudes start at 0 (degrees) at the Prime Meridian that is why the earth is curved and due to the curve, earth has Longitude.

• No. We can't touch the longitudes and latitudes, but the scientists can.

The longitudes west of ___________ will be measured from 0(degrees) West to 180(degrees) West

• Prime Meridian

• Greenwich Meridian

• IDL (International Date Line)

• Geography

• Earth
