Introduction to latitude and longitude - KS2/KS3 - Free Printable

Problem Description:

The task is to identify the lines of latitude and longitude on the provided globes. The goal is to label the key features of the Earth's coordinate system, including the Equator, Prime Meridian, North Pole, South Pole, Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, and specific lines of latitude and longitude.

Solution:

#### Top Globe:
1. North Pole: This is the topmost point on the globe, marked as \(90^\circ \text{N}\).
2. Equator: This is the line running horizontally around the middle of the globe, marked as \(0^\circ\) latitude.
3. South Pole: This is the bottommost point on the globe, marked as \(90^\circ \text{S}\).
4. Lines of Latitude:
- \(30^\circ \text{N}\): A parallel line north of the Equator.
- \(60^\circ \text{N}\): Another parallel line further north.
- \(30^\circ \text{S}\): A parallel line south of the Equator.
- \(60^\circ \text{S}\): Another parallel line further south.
5. Prime Meridian: This is the vertical line passing through Greenwich, England, marked as \(0^\circ\) longitude.
6. Northern Hemisphere: The region above the Equator.
7. Southern Hemisphere: The region below the Equator.

#### Bottom Globe:
1. North Pole: This is the topmost point on the globe, marked as \(90^\circ \text{N}\).
2. Equator: This is the line running horizontally around the middle of the globe, marked as \(0^\circ\) latitude.
3. South Pole: This is the bottommost point on the globe, marked as \(90^\circ \text{S}\).
4. Lines of Longitude:
- \(0^\circ\): The Prime Meridian.
- \(30^\circ \text{E}\), \(60^\circ \text{E}\), \(90^\circ \text{E}\), \(120^\circ \text{E}\), \(150^\circ \text{E}\), \(180^\circ\), \(150^\circ \text{W}\), \(120^\circ \text{W}\), \(90^\circ \text{W}\), \(60^\circ \text{W}\), \(30^\circ \text{W}\): These are meridians that run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole.
5. Northern Hemisphere: The region above the Equator.
6. Southern Hemisphere: The region below the Equator.

Final Labels:

#### Top Globe:
- Top: North Pole
- Middle horizontal line: Equator
- Bottom: South Pole
- Lines of Latitude (from top to bottom):
- \(90^\circ \text{N}\)
- \(60^\circ \text{N}\)
- \(30^\circ \text{N}\)
- \(0^\circ\) (Equator)
- \(30^\circ \text{S}\)
- \(60^\circ \text{S}\)
- \(90^\circ \text{S}\)
- Vertical line through Greenwich: Prime Meridian

#### Bottom Globe:
- Top: North Pole
- Middle horizontal line: Equator
- Bottom: South Pole
- Lines of Longitude (from left to right):
- \(180^\circ\)
- \(150^\circ \text{W}\)
- \(120^\circ \text{W}\)
- \(90^\circ \text{W}\)
- \(60^\circ \text{W}\)
- \(30^\circ \text{W}\)
- \(0^\circ\) (Prime Meridian)
- \(30^\circ \text{E}\)
- \(60^\circ \text{E}\)
- \(90^\circ \text{E}\)
- \(120^\circ \text{E}\)
- \(150^\circ \text{E}\)
- \(180^\circ\)

Final Answer:

\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{c}
\text{North Pole} \\
\text{Equator} \\
\text{South Pole} \\
\text{Lines of Latitude: } 90^\circ \text{N}, 60^\circ \text{N}, 30^\circ \text{N}, 0^\circ, 30^\circ \text{S}, 60^\circ \text{S}, 90^\circ \text{S} \\
\text{Prime Meridian} \\
\text{Lines of Longitude: } 180^\circ, 150^\circ \text{W}, 120^\circ \text{W}, 90^\circ \text{W}, 60^\circ \text{W}, 30^\circ \text{W}, 0^\circ, 30^\circ \text{E}, 60^\circ \text{E}, 90^\circ \text{E}, 120^\circ \text{E}, 150^\circ \text{E}, 180^\circ
