When your teacher asks you to show the lines of latitude on the globe, point out the horizontal lines that run parallel to the Equator. These lines are measured in degrees north and south of the Equator, which is at 0 degrees latitude. The lines of latitude include the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° N), the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° S), the Arctic Circle (66.5° N), and the Antarctic Circle (66.5° S). You can also mention that they help indicate climate zones and are important for navigation.
