In the NCERT Geography book Practical Work in Geography (Class 11, Chapter — “Latitude, Longitude and Time”), you explore the geographical coordinate system used to locate places on the Earth.
You learn about latitudes and longitudes, which form an imaginary grid on the Earth’s surface. The chapter explains important reference lines such as the Equator and the Prime Meridian, which help determine the exact position of any place on Earth.
You also study how time is calculated based on longitudes, including the concepts of local time, standard time, time zones, and the International Date Line.
