Globe: Latitudes and Longitudes

Earth moves west to east

All parallel circles from the equator upto pole are called latitude

90^o north latitude called North Pole

90^o south latitude called South Pole

Four important parallel latitude

1.       Topic of cancer 23 ½  ⁰ north

2.       Tropic of Capricorn 23 ½  ⁰ south

3.       Arctic circle 66 ½^o   north

4.       Antarctic circle 66 ½ ^o south

The mid day sum is exactly overhead at least once a year on all latitude in between topic of cancer and tropic of Capricorn this area receives maximum amount of heat so, it is called torrid zone

Area bound by the tropic of cancer and arctic  circle in northern hemisphere and area bound by tropic of Capricorn and Antarctic circle is called temperature zone.

Area lying between the Arctic Circle and the North Pole in northern hemisphere and Antarctic Circle and south hemisphere are very cold and south hemisphere is very cold so it called frigid zone

Earth revolve 360^o in 24 hours

When earth revolves 15^o it cover one hour.

When you moves 15⁰ on earth it add 1 hour times .
