Question

How are latitude and longitude lines drawn on a globe of Earth?

Answer 1

See explanation

Explanation:

Any circle on the globe with center as the center of the globe is

called a great circle. For example, the equator is a great circle. So

are the circles through both the poles.

Mark the Poles. The great circle through the Poles passing

through Greenwich marks `0^o` longitude. Draw polar great circles

with equal spacing of `1^o` at the equator for longitude circles.

Make graduations for `1^o-180^o`, towards East and West,

respectively.

Latitude circles are small circles ( with center on the polar axis )

parallel to the equator. The graduations are from `0^o` at the

equator, through `0^o-90^o`, towards North and South poles,

respectively.
