There are a number of imaginary lines that circle the Earth perpendicular to its axis.
The Equator runs around the centre of the Earth splitting it equally north and south.
The Tropic of Cancer encircles the Earth 23.5° north of the Equator. During the
seasons, this is the furthest point north that the sun can appear to travel.
The Tropic of Capricorn encircles the Earth 23.5° south of the Equator. It is the furthest
point that the sun appears to travel south.
The Arctic Circle is 23.5° from the North Pole. When the North Pole is pointing away
from the sun, all areas inside this circle stay in perpetual darkness.
The Antarctic circle is 23.5° from the South Pole. Again it represents an area that the
sun never reaches during certain times of the year.
-Longitude
Another set of imaginary lines helps us measure distance 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. Each meridian travels halfway around the Earth. Along its imaginary
journey it crosses each line of latitude once. These intersections mark an exact location for any
point on Earth.
Longitude lines are measured in degrees, just as latitude. However, there is no natural
starting or stopping point for east and west. So mapmakers need a place to begin. They call that
line of longitude the prime meridian. Its address is zero degrees longitude, or 0o longitude.
From the prime meridian, you can travel west halfway around the Earth to the 180o east longitude
line. At the 180o line, east meets west: 180o E and 180o We are the same line!
