00:00.080 --> 00:00.920
Welcome back.

00:01.120 --> 00:05.440
In this video we're going to learn about the verb map coordinate system.

00:05.480 --> 00:12.840
Latitude and longitude are a system of imaginary lines used to find exact location on Earth, like coordinates

00:12.840 --> 00:13.760
on a map.

00:13.880 --> 00:16.720
Latitude, which are the horizontal lines.

00:16.880 --> 00:27.560
These lines run east to west, side to side, but they measure how far north or south a place is from

00:27.600 --> 00:28.600
the equator.

00:28.640 --> 00:32.400
The equator is the starting point at zero degrees latitude.

00:32.680 --> 00:41.120
Latitude goes from zero degrees at the equator up to 90 degrees north, which is the north pole, down

00:41.120 --> 00:48.640
to 90 degrees south, which is the south pole, the longitude vertical lines.

00:48.680 --> 00:56.320
These lines run north to south, but they measure how far east or west a place is.

00:56.320 --> 00:58.200
From the prime meridian.

00:58.400 --> 01:07.760
The prime meridian is starting point at zero degrees longitude, which passes through Greenwich, England.

01:07.760 --> 01:18.920
Longitude goes from zero degrees at the Prime Meridian up to 180 degrees east up to 180 degrees west.

01:19.120 --> 01:25.760
This is a better image in order to understand the latitude and the longitude.

01:25.960 --> 01:35.080
Here we have the latitude starting from the equator at zero degrees latitude, up to 90 degrees to the

01:35.080 --> 01:45.800
North Pole, and down to -90 degrees to the South Pole, while the longitude starting from the prime

01:45.800 --> 01:50.240
meridian, which passes through England and the Greenwich.

01:50.480 --> 02:02.760
And here we have the 180 degrees east, which is plus and -180 degrees west, which is for the left.

02:02.800 --> 02:09.360
This is the longitude and latitude in world map coordinates system.
