• The Equator and the Prime Meridian are the starting points for two sets of lines used to find any location.

• The letter N or S following the degree symbol tells you if the location is north or south of the Equator.

Latitude and LongitudeLatitude and Longitude

• The North Pole, for example, is at 90°N (North) latitude, and the South Pole is at 90°S (South) latitude.

• Two important parallels in between the poles are the Tropic of Cancer at 23½°N latitude and the Tropic of Capricorn at 23½°S latitude.

• You can also find the Arctic Circle at 66½°N latitude and the Antarctic Circle at 66½°S latitude.

• Longitude, or distance measured in degrees east (E) or west (W) of the Prime Meridian.

• The Prime Meridian, or 0° longitude, runs through Greenwich, England.

• On the opposite side of the earth is the 180° meridian, also called the International Date Line.

To give directions to this island, you would use the absolute location. You would have to use degrees of latitude and

longitude.
