4. St. Petersburg is located at approximately 30°E longitude.
5. A city located at 15°E longitude is Berlin, Germany.
6. Another name for the 0° line of longitude is the Prime Meridian.
7. You can't see 90°W on this globe because the map only shows longitudes from 0° to 180° east and west; 90°W would be on the opposite side of the globe from the 90°E line shown.
8. Most of Africa is between the 20°W and 50°E lines of longitude.
