Longitude and latitude are imaginary lines that circle the Earth. They are used to exactly pinpoint where a person or object is located. These lines are located on maps and measured in degrees. Each degree is divided into 60 minutes and each minute has 60 seconds. Latitude describes east-west lines that circle the Earth parallel to the equator.
Apr 9, 2013 · What determines how long a second, minute, or hour lasts? Learn about the development of the units of time and how they depend on the rotation of the Earth on its axis. Learn how time zones are related to lines of longitude. Published on: April 09, 2013
Key learning points. Time zones to the east of the Prime Meridian are ‘UTC (or GMT) plus’; time zones to the west are ‘minus UTC (or GMT)'. Webcams are a useful source of information about what is happening in places which are in different time zones.
