Point on parallel lines on both sides of the Equator.	Here we see some lines parallel to the Equator.
Point on parallel lines on both sides of the Equator.	Since these lines are parallel to theEquator, they are called parallels of latitudes.
Rotate the globe point to horizontal lines on the globe. Shows parallel lines in the globe.	Notice that some lines are connected from the North Pole to the South Pole. These lines are Meridians of longitudes.
Point to Prime Meridian.	Prime Meridian is the main Meridian of longitude.
Point on Prime Meridian. Show the division	It is an imaginary line that divides the earth vertically into two equal halves.
Scroll and show the additional material	More information about latitudes and longitudes is available in the Additional material link.
