- The red lines represent lines of latitude, which run parallel to the equator and measure distance north or south of it.
- The horizontal red line at 0° is the equator, dividing the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
- The red lines at 30°N and 30°S are the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, respectively, marking the boundaries of the tropics.
- The red lines at 60°N and 60°S are significant parallels that help define the temperate zones.
- The red lines at 75°N and 75°S are near the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, indicating high-latitude regions.
- These lines are used for navigation, climate zone classification, and geographic referencing.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of longitude and latitude test.
