Exploring Latitude and Longitude: Locating Places on Earth

The video tutorial explains how to locate places on a map using latitudes and longitudes. It introduces the concept of imaginary lines on the globe, such as the equator and prime meridian, which divide the Earth into hemispheres. The tutorial covers how latitudes and longitudes are measured, their role in determining climate zones and time zones, and how to use coordinates to find specific locations. The video concludes with interesting facts about the number of latitudes and longitudes.
