Four Figure Grid Reference: A way of finding a
location on a map using numbers that tell you how
far along the bottom and up the side you need to
go.
Six Figure Grid Reference: A more detailed way of
pinpointing a spot on a map by using six numbers
to show exactly where it is.
Lines of Longitude: Imaginary lines that run from
the North Pole to the South Pole on a map, helping
you measure how far east or west a place is.
Lines of Latitude: Imaginary lines that go from east
to west on a map, helping you measure how far
north or south a place is.
The Prime Meridian: An imaginary line running
from the North Pole to the South Pole that helps
define the Eastern and Western Hemispheres on
Earth.
