Compass

• A tool used for navigation that always points to magnetic north.

• A device that measures temperature.

• An instrument for measuring time.

• A tool used for drawing circles.

Equator

• The imaginary line that circles the Earth, dividing it into Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Located at 0° latitude.

• A line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole.

• A latitude line located at 45° north.

• The boundary between the Earth's atmosphere and outer space.

Antarctic Circle

• The line of latitude at about 66.5° South, similar to the Arctic Circle but in the Southern Hemisphere.

• The line of latitude at about 23.5° South, marking the Tropic of Capricorn.

• The line of latitude at about 0°, representing the Equator.
