    The document discusses latitudes and longitudes on Earth. It defines that latitudes are imaginary lines parallel to the equator that measure positions north and south of it, while longitudes are imaginary lines from the North Pole to the South Pole that along with the Prime Meridian divide the Earth into eastern and western hemispheres. It describes important parallels like the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn as well as climate zones defined by latitudes, including the Torrid Zone between the Tropics where the sun is directly overhead and the Frigid Zones near the poles that receive little sunlight.
