1. Find the Equator:

* The equator is the largest circle on the globe, running horizontally around the middle. It's always labeled as 0° latitude.

2. Identify the North and South Poles:

* The North Pole is at the top of the globe and is labeled as 90° North (N).

* The South Pole is at the bottom of the globe and is labeled as 90° South (S).

3. Follow the Lines of Latitude:

* Latitude lines are circles that run parallel to the equator. They get smaller as they get closer to the poles.

* Each line represents a specific degree of latitude. Lines north of the equator are labeled as "N" (North) and lines south of the equator are labeled as "S" (South).

4. Read the Labels:

* Each latitude line should have a label indicating its degree of latitude. For example, 30°N, 45°S, etc.

Example:

Imagine you're looking for 20° North latitude. You would:

1. Find the equator.

2. Locate the line of latitude labeled 20°N. This line will be parallel to the equator and north of it.

Key Points:

* Latitude lines measure distance north or south of the equator.

* Latitude lines are always parallel to each other.

* The equator is the starting point for measuring latitude.
