Screen 5: Latitude
• Latitude measures distance north or south of the equator.
• Latitude is used with longitude to identify your position on earth.
If you do not know your latitude and longitude, there are several ways to
find out. Many atlases and maps include latitude and longitude lines. You
can also talk to the reference department of your local library, call your
local airport, or search on the Internet. The more accurate you are, the bet-
ter; however, a reasonable estimate will work, too.
