GLOBE LATITUDES AND LONGITUDES NCERT Class 6 - Social Science - Geography Chapter 2 - GLOBE: LATITUDES AND LONGITUDES Table of Contents ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ GLOBE Globe is a true model (miniature form) of the Earth. On the globe, countries, continents, and oceans are shown in their correct size. An Imaginary line running on the globe divides it into two equal parts. This line is known as the equator. The northern half of the earth is known as the Northern Hemisphere and the southern half is known as the Southern Hemisphere. The Equator is a very important reference point to locate places on the Earth. All parallel circles from the equator up to the poles are called parallels of latitudes. Latitudes are measured in degrees. The equator represents the zero-degree latitude. Distance from the equator to either of the poles is one-fourth of a circle around the earth, it will measure ¼th of 360 degrees, i
