When your teacher asks to show lines of latitude on a globe, point out the horizontal lines that run parallel to the Equator. These lines are measured in degrees, with the Equator at 0° latitude, and extend to 90° North at the North Pole and 90° South at the South Pole. Highlight key lines such as the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° N), the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° S), and the Arctic and Antarctic Circles (66.5° N and 66.5° S, respectively).
