Glossarbegriffe: Breitengrad
Description: Die Erde ist eine Kugel. Um Orte auf der Erde zu definieren, werden zwei Gruppen von gedachten Linien auf die Oberfläche der Kugel gezeichnet: Die Breitengradlinien sind Kreise, die parallel zum Äquator um die Erde verlaufen. Der Äquator hat eine geographische Breite von 0 Grad. Breitengrade auf der Nordhalbkugel sind positiv, Breitengrade auf der Südhalbkugel sind negativ. Der Nordpol und der Südpol haben die höchsten bzw. niedrigsten Breitengrade. Der Nordpol liegt bei +90 Grad und der Südpol bei -90 Grad. Es gibt auch Linien, die in Großkreisen durch die Pole verlaufen. Diese Linien sind die Längengrade.
