Latitude lines run east to west around the globe. You can remember it this way: Latitude lines are flat!
Latitude lines run east to west, but they actually give us a location that is a certain number of degrees north or south of the equator. If you were 50 degrees north of the equator, your latitude would be 50° N.

A hemisphere is a half of the globe. The equator splits the globe into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The Prime Meridian splits the globe into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
Even without a map, latitude and longitude tell us the hemispheres in which a place is located. For example, Foso, Lesotho, is located at 29.2° S, 27.3° E. This tells us it is south of the equator (latitude) and east of the Prime Meridian (longitude). We know from these coordinates that it’s in the Southern and Eastern Hemispheres.
Which of these coordinates describes a place in the Northern and Western Hemispheres?
100° N, 18° W
29.2° S, 27.3° E
2° N, 1° E
30° N, 45° E
