🔵 Earth sphere━━ Latitude lines (every 15°)━━ bright Equator & Tropics (0°, ±23.5°)┃ Longitude lines (every 15°)┃ bright Prime Meridian (0°)
How it works: Latitude lines run east–west and measure how far north or south a point is from the equator (0° to ±90°). Longitude lines run north–south and measure east–west position from the prime meridian in Greenwich (0° to ±180°). Together they uniquely identify any location on Earth.
