| Map of Earth | |
| Longitude (λ) | |
|---|---|
| Lines of longitude appear curved in this projection, but are actually halves of great circles. | |
| Latitude (φ) | |
| Lines of latitude appear horizontal in this projection, but are actually circular with different radii. All locations with a given latitude are collectively referred to as a circle of latitude. | |
| The equator divides the planet into a Northern Hemisphere and a Southern Hemisphere, and has a latitude of 0°. | |
