Grid System• Latitude lines and Longitude lines form the

Earth’s Grid System• Grid System provides a systematic way of

locating places• Grid System provides Absolute Location• Latitude is always first 40°N• Longitude is always second 75°W• Absolute Location (40°N,75°W)• Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – USA – North
