Where on Earth are you?

The video tutorial explains how to determine your location on Earth using two numbers: latitude and longitude. Latitude is measured from the equator, with values ranging from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. Longitude is measured from the prime meridian, with values ranging from 0° at Greenwich to 180° on the opposite side of the Earth. By understanding these concepts, you can pinpoint any location on the planet, such as Lake Geneva in Switzerland, using coordinates like 46° N and 6° E.

What are the two numbers used to determine a location on Earth called?

• Coordinates

• Distances

• Vectors

• Angles

From which imaginary line is latitude measured?

• International Date Line

• Prime Meridian

• Equator

• Tropic of Cancer

What is the maximum latitude value at the North Pole?

• 180° N

• 90° N

• 0° N

• 45° N

From which location is longitude measured?

• Greenwich, United Kingdom

• Paris, France

• Tokyo, Japan

What is the significance of the 180° longitude line?

• It divides the Earth into two equal halves.

• It is the same as the equator.

• It is the maximum possible longitude on Earth.

• It is the starting point for measuring longitude.
