Longitudinal and latitudinal lines are measured in degrees. Degrees latitude are numbered from 0° to 90° north and south. Zero degrees is the equator‚ 90° north is the North Pole and 90° south is the South Pole. Zero degrees longitude is located at Greenwich‚ England. The degrees continue 180° east and 180° west where they meet at the International Date Line in the Pacific Ocean.

Why do we have seasons and how do they affect my life? We have seasons because the earth is tilted on its axis‚ as it makes its yearly journey around the sun.

So‚ sometimes the sun is in the direction that the earth is pointing‚ but not at other times. The varying amount of sunlight around the earth‚ during the year‚ creates the seasons. We have hot
