Longitude

Today in class we continued our notes on longitude and latitude, focusing more on the longitude portion of it. Longitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the east- west position of a point on the Earth's surface. The Prime Meridian passes through Greenwich, England, and is given the position of 0 degrees longitude. Longitude Lines are known as Meridians, just like latitude lines are known as parallel. They run in North and South direction. Latitude lines run in east- west directions. Longitude lines are farthest apart at the equator and meet at the poles. They're equal in length and are halves of great circles.During class today we were taking notes and we always take notes in the dark and when we walk through the classroom it's always dark and today Mr. Schick finally told someone to turn them on and it was such a weird feeling like it felt unnatural for the lights to be on, but it was kinda cool.
