Latitude And Longitude For Kids Worksheet

The page introduces invisible Earth lines by contrasting vertical longitude with horizontal latitude. Seven named regions or parallels are located and numbered on globe illustrations, including the equator, hemispheres, circles, and tropics. A coordinate extension asks learners to use the intersection of latitude and longitude to identify locations. The combined task develops both global reference vocabulary and the practical idea that two coordinates pinpoint a place.
