Navigating Earth With Latitude and Longitude Coordinates

The video tutorial explains the concepts of latitude and longitude, describing how lines of latitude run east to west and are called parallels, while lines of longitude run north to south and are called meridians. The equator and prime meridian are key reference points, dividing the Earth into hemispheres. Latitude affects temperature zones, while longitude influences time zones. The tutorial also covers how these lines form a grid system to determine coordinates for any location on Earth. The video concludes with a recap and interactive questions to reinforce learning.
