Location of Place and Time on Earth
Location of Place and Time on Earth
Location Of A Place And Time On Surface Of The Earth: Any location on Earth is described by - its latitude and its longitude. Latitude and longitude are angles that uniquely define points on a sphere. They are spherical coordinates on the surface of the earth.
Latitude: Halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole is an imaginary line, the equator. The equator goes around the middle of Earth like a belt. It divides our planet into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. A number of imaginary lines are drawn around the globe parallel to the equator. These are called parallels of latitude. Latitude is measured North or South of the Equator, resulting in a range of -90 (S pole) to +90 (N pole) degrees. Each degree of latitude spans about 111 km or60 nautical miles on the earth's surface. Each degree is divided into 60 min and each min into 60 sec
Longitude: Another set of imaginary lines helps us measure distance between east and west. These are lines of longitude, Each line of longitude runs from the North Pole to the South Pole. These lines are also called meridians. Meridians are spaced farthest apart at the Equator and converge at the poles. Longitude is measured East or West of Greenwich. The International Date Line is 180° from the Greenwich Mean Time. Halfway around the Earth is 180 degree longitude. Longitude is an important factor in determining time in all parts of the world. Time alters by one hour for every 15 degrees of longitude (360/24). Time Zones am decided on the basis of meridians. Indian Standard Time, for example, is based on the local time at Allahabad at 82.5° E.
Then there are other imaginary lines apart from the longitude and the latitude. Arctic Circle runs parallel to the Equator and circles the Earth at about 66° 33' North Latitude. Antarctic Circle runs parallel to the Equator and circles the Earth at about 66° 33' South Latitude. Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are the regions ol Earth between the Tropic of Cancer (23° 27 N) and Tropic of Capricorn (23° 27'S).

10thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
