What can the globe te you?
North and South
The globe is made of two hemispheres: the Northern
Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. North and
south refer to two of the four points of the compass.
The others are east and west. The northernmost point
on Earth is the
North Pole, and the southernmost
point is the South Pole. You can see these two poles
on your globe.
Geographic Coordinate System
You can see various lines on your globe. The most
obvious is the Equator: This is the thick blue line
spanning the “belly” of the globe. All of the lines
running horizontally around the globe — like the
Equator — are called lines of latitude.
There are also lines running from the North Pole to
the South Pole. These are called lines of longitude.
The time zones around the world are arranged
according to the lines of longitude. If you take a look
at the small transparent disk at the North Pole, you
will be able to see that the time is not the same
everywhere throughout the world. This has to do with
the fact that the sun can’t rise everywhere at the same
time. In North America, it will still be dark when
Europeans are just starting to wake up, while in Asia it
will already be lunchtime.
Together, lines of longitude and latitude form the
geographic coordinate system of Earth. This system is
crucial for ships and airplanes to find their way.
