  1. 4. a geographic coordinate that specifies the east–west position of a point on the surface of the Earth
  2. 5. POLE, The northern point of the Earth's axis of rotation
  3. 8. LOCATION, The exact place on Earth, often given in terms of latitude and longitude
  4. 9. A unique identifier of a precise geographic location on the earth.
  5. 11. Something (as a building, a large tree, or a statue) that is easy to see and can help a person find the way to a place near it.

  1. 1. A half of the earth, usually as divided into northern and southern halves by the equator, or into western and eastern halves by an imaginary line passing through the poles.
  2. 2. POLE, The southern point of the Earth's axis of rotation
  3. 3. DATE LINE, The boundary between calendar dates. Established in 1884, it passes through the mid-Pacific Ocean and roughly follows a 180 degrees longitude north-south line on the Earth.
  4. 4. The geographical coordinates that are used to specify the north and south sides of the Earth. Lines of constant latitude, also called parallels run from east to west in circles parallel to the equator
  5. 6. MEDIAN, the line of 0° longitude, the starting point for measuring distance both east and west around Earth.
  6. 7. LOCATION, Tthe position of one place compared to another.
  7. 10. An imaginary line drawn around the earth equally distant from both poles, dividing the earth into northern and southern hemispheres and constituting the parallel of latitude 0°.
