Both, meridians and parallels, form the geographic coordinate system based on latitude and longitude
Meridians are the terrestrial geoid highs semicircles passing through the poles, imaginary lines used to determine the microseconds. By extension, are also the maximum semicircles passing through the poles of any reference sphere or spheroid. All observers located on the same meridian are at the same time, in the lighted half of Earth, the Sun at the top of its course when the Sun is at the top of the course indicating noon.
By resolution, adopted at an international conference held in 1884 in Washington, and sponsored by then President of the United States, attended by delegates from 25 countries, the "reference meridian ", from which lengths are measured , i.e. , which is considered the "longitude 0 °", is the Greenwich meridian, so called because it passes through the ancient observatory in Greenwich.
Circle formed by the intersection of land area with an imaginary plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the Earth is called parallel.
On the parallels, and from the Greenwich meridian, meridian that is taken as origin, measure the length, the circle is expressed in degrees, which may be East or West, depending on the direction of measurement of the same. Unlike meridians, parallels are not as great circles, except Equator, do not contain the center of the Earth.
The angle ( with vertex at the center of the Earth ) on any plane parallel and meridian for the equator is called latitude and is the same for all points of the parallel , which discriminates between North and South latitude, according to hemisphere.
There are five main striking parallels or corresponding to a particular position of the Earth in its orbit around the sun, and therefore receives a particular name:
-Arctic Circle (latitude 66 ° 33 ' N = 90 º - 23 º 27').
-Tropic of Cancer (latitude 23 ° 27 ' N). It further north latitude at which the sun reaches its zenith. This occurs at the June solstice.
- Equator (latitude 0 °). In Equator the Sun culminates at the zenith on the equinox of spring and autumn.
- Tropic of Capricorn (latitude 23 ° 27 ' S). Is the parallel further south where the sun reaches the zenith. This occurs at the December solstice.
- Antarctic Circle (latitude 66 ° 33 ' S).

About this Video:
LONGITUDES
Longitude describes the location of a place on the earth...east or west of a north to south running imaginary line called the prime meridian.
The lines of longitude are lines running north - south through the poles.
Longitude is the number of degrees east or west of the prime meridian (zero degree) which passes through Greenwich (England).
Lines of longitude are measured from the centre of the earth.
These lines divide the world up into segments.
The prime meridian (zero degree) and the 180th meridian(at 180 degree longitude) is a great circle that divides the earth into the EASTERN and the WESTERN hemisphere.
The 180 degree longitude line is also referred to as the international date line.
MERDIANS
Longitude is defined in terms of meridians which are half circles running from pole to pole.
The meridians are numbered up to 180 degree to the east and west of the line of 0 (Zero) degree longitude or the prime meridian
The value of a meridian is followed by the letter 'E' or 'W'.
180 degree E and 180 degree W meridians are the same.
There are 360 meridians in total.
The word meridian means the highest position of a star or the sun which reaches its highest position at midday.
A line of longitude is called a meridian of longitude because all places located on it have midday at the same time.
Meridians are not parallel..they come together at the poles.
EARTH'S GRID
THE PARALLELS AND MERIDIANS FORM A MESH OR A GRID.
THE GRID IS FOUND ON FLAT MAPS AND GLOBES.
LONGITUDE AND TIME
AS THE EARTH TURNS THE SUN APPEARS TO MOVE ACROSS THE SKY.
THIS MOTION GIVES US DAY AND NIGHT.
OUR GLOBAL TIME SYSTEM IS ALSO ORIENTED TO THE SUN.
EVERYDAY THE SUN RISES IN THE EAST AND SETS IN THE WEST. THIS MOVEMENT IS CAUSED BY THE ROTATION OF EARTH FROM WEST TO EAST. THERFORE PLACES TO THE EAST OF A GIVEN LONGITUDE WILL HAVE SUNRISE FIRST.
The earth takes 24 hours to cover 360 meridians.
This means that it covers 360/24= 15 degree meridians in 1 hour ... or one meridian in 4 mins (60 mins/15)
BASED ON THIS CALCULATION THE DIFFERENCE IN TIME OF DIFFERENT PLACES IS CALCULATED.
TIME ZONES
EARLIER PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT THE WHOLE WORLD SHOULD SET THEIR CLOCK AT THE SAME TIME .....................
BUT THIS WAS NOT POSSIBLE AS THE SUN DOES NOT SHINE ON ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD AT THE SAME TIME.
In 1884 scientist solved this issue by dividing the world into 24 time zones. Each zone is approximately 15 degree longitude wide.
Greenwich England was chosen to be the location for universal time because its located along the prime meridian.
The time in each zone is calculated by this universal time, also known as the GREENWICH MEAN TIME.
For e.g.: CHICAGO is GMT minus 6 hrs....so when its 7 pm in GREENWICH (7-6=1) ,it is 1 pm in CHICAGO.
Local time
The local time of a place is fixed on the basis of the apparent movement of the sun.
When the sun shines exactly Overhead it is mid day or 12 noon at that place.
Mid day occurs at different times at different meridians...... so the local time varies from one meridian to another.
STANDARD TIME
It is the time in any of the 24 time zones (each an hour apart) into which the earth is divided.
The Indian standard time is the time observed throughout INDIA or SRILANKA.
The IST is calculated on the basis of 82 ½ degree E longitude which is just WEST of the town MIRZAPUR, near ALLAHABAD (U.P).
The longitudinal difference between Mirzapur and GREENWICH is 5 hr 30 min.
As the standard meridian of India is towards the east of the PRIME MERIDIAN, the standard time of India is 5 hrs 30 mins ahead of GMT.

Time zones are based on the fact that the Earth moves 15 degrees longitude each hour. Since there are 24 hours in a day there are 24 standard time zones. (24 hours x 15º=360º)
Time zones are counted from the Prime Meridian (0º longitude). Each time zone is counted at 15 º intervals and extends 7½º either side of a central meridian. For example, Sydney, Australia lies in the 150ºE central meridian, and the time zone includes all locations between 142½ºE and 157½ºE.

A meridian (or line of longitude) is an imaginary line on the Earth's surface from the North Pole to the South Pole that connects all locations along it with a given longitude. The position of a point along the meridian is given by its latitude. Each meridian is perpendicular to all circles of latitude. Each is also the same size, being half of a great circle on the Earth's surface and therefore measuring 20,003.93 km (12,429.9 miles).
The meridian through Greenwich, England, also called the Prime Meridian was set at zero degrees of longitude, with other meridians being defined by the angle at the center of the earth between where it and the prime meridian cross the equator. As there are 360 degrees in a circle, the meridian on the opposite side of the earth from Greenwich, forming the other half of a circle with the one through Greenwich, is 180° longitude, and the others lie between 0° and 180° of West longitude in the Western Hemisphere (West of Greenwich) and between 0° and 180° of East longitude in the Eastern Hemisphere (East of Greenwich). Most maps show the lines of longitude.

Geography (from Greek γεωγραφία - geographia, lit. "earth describe-write") is the science that studies the lands, the features, the inhabitants, and the phenomena of the Earth. A literal translation would be "to describe or write about the Earth". The first person to use the word "geography" was Eratosthenes (276-194 BC). Four historical traditions in geographical research are the spatial analysis of the natural and the human phenomena (geography as the study of distribution), the area studies (places and regions), the study of the man-land relationship, and the research in the earth sciences. Nonetheless, the modern geography is an all-encompassing discipline that foremost seeks to understand the Earth and all of its human and natural complexities—not merely where objects are, but how they have changed and come to be. Geography has been called "the world discipline" and "the bridge between the human and the physical science". Geography is divided into two main branches: the human geography and the physical geography.

-Arctic Circle (latitude 66 ° 33 ' N = 90 º - 23 º 27').
-Tropic of Cancer (latitude 23 ° 27 ' N). It further north latitude at which the sun reaches its zenith. This occurs at the June solstice.
- Equator (latitude 0 °). In Equator the Sun culminates at the zenith on the equinox of spring and autumn.
- Tropic of Capricorn (latitude 23 ° 27 ' S). Is the parallel further south where the sun reaches the zenith. This occurs at the December solstice.
- Antarctic Circle (latitude 66 ° 33 ' S).

Both, meridians and parallels, form the geographic coordinate system based on latitude and longitude
Meridians are the terrestrial geoid highs semicircles passing through the poles, imaginary lines used to determine the microseconds. By extension, are also the maximum semicircles passing through the poles of any reference sphere or spheroid. All observers located on the same meridian are at the same time, in the lighted half of Earth, the Sun at the top of its course when the Sun is at the top of the course indicating noon.
By resolution, adopted at an international conference held in 1884 in Washington, and sponsored by then President of the United States, attended by delegates from 25 countries, the "reference meridian ", from which lengths are measured , i.e. , which is considered the "longitude 0 °", is the Greenwich meridian, so called because it passes through the ancient observatory in Greenwich.
Circle formed by the intersection of land area with an imaginary plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the Earth is called parallel.
On the parallels, and from the Greenwich meridian, meridian that is taken as origin, measure the length, the circle is expressed in degrees, which may be East or West, depending on the direction of measurement of the same. Unlike meridians, parallels are not as great circles, except Equator, do not contain the center of the Earth.
The angle ( with vertex at the center of the Earth ) on any plane parallel and meridian for the equator is called latitude and is the same for all points of the parallel , which discriminates between North and South latitude, according to hemisphere.

LONGITUDES
Longitude describes the location of a place on the earth...east or west of a north to south running imaginary line called the prime meridian.
The lines of longitude are lines running north - south through the poles.
Longitude is the number of degrees east or west of the prime meridian (zero degree) which passes through Greenwich (England).
Lines of longitude are measured from the centre of the earth.
These lines divide the world up into segments.
The prime meridian (zero degree) and the 180th meridian(at 180 degree longitude) is a great circle that divides the earth into the EASTERN and the WESTERN hemisphere.
The 180 degree longitude line is also referred to as the international date line.
MERDIANS
Longitude is defined in terms of meridians which are half circles running from pole to pole.
The meridians are numbered up to 180 degree to the east and west of the line of 0 (Zero) degree longitude or the prime meridian
The value of a meridian is followed by the letter 'E' or 'W'.
180 degree E and 180 degree W meridians are the same.
There are 360 meridians in total.
The word meridian means the highest position of a star or the sun which reaches its highest position at midday.
A line of longitude is called a meridian of longitude because all places located on it have midday at the same time.
Meridians are not parallel..they come together at the poles.
EARTH'S GRID
THE PARALLELS AND MERIDIANS FORM A MESH OR A GRID.
THE GRID IS FOUND ON FLAT MAPS AND GLOBES.
LONGITUDE AND TIME
AS THE EARTH TURNS THE SUN APPEARS TO MOVE ACROSS THE SKY.
THIS MOTION GIVES US DAY AND NIGHT.
OUR GLOBAL TIME SYSTEM IS ALSO ORIENTED TO THE SUN.
EVERYDAY THE SUN RISES IN THE EAST AND SETS IN THE WEST. THIS MOVEMENT IS CAUSED BY THE ROTATION OF EARTH FROM WEST TO EAST. THERFORE PLACES TO THE EAST OF A GIVEN LONGITUDE WILL HAVE SUNRISE FIRST.
The earth takes 24 hours to cover 360 meridians.
This means that it covers 360/24= 15 degree meridians in 1 hour ... or one meridian in 4 mins (60 mins/15)
BASED ON THIS CALCULATION THE DIFFERENCE IN TIME OF DIFFERENT PLACES IS CALCULATED.
TIME ZONES
EARLIER PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT THE WHOLE WORLD SHOULD SET THEIR CLOCK AT THE SAME TIME .....................
BUT THIS WAS NOT POSSIBLE AS THE SUN DOES NOT SHINE ON ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD AT THE SAME TIME.
In 1884 scientist solved this issue by dividing the world into 24 time zones. Each zone is approximately 15 degree longitude wide.
Greenwich England was chosen to be the location for universal time because its located along the prime meridian.
The time in each zone is calculated by this universal time, also known as the GREENWICH MEAN TIME.
For e.g.: CHICAGO is GMT minus 6 hrs....so when its 7 pm in GREENWICH (7-6=1) ,it is 1 pm in CHICAGO.
Local time
The local time of a place is fixed on the basis of the apparent movement of the sun.
When the sun shines exactly Overhead it is mid day or 12 noon at that place.
Mid day occurs at different times at different meridians...... so the local time varies from one meridian to another.
STANDARD TIME
It is the time in any of the 24 time zones (each an hour apart) into which the earth is divided.
The Indian standard time is the time observed throughout INDIA or SRILANKA.
The IST is calculated on the basis of 82 ½ degree E longitude which is just WEST of the town MIRZAPUR, near ALLAHABAD (U.P).
The longitudinal difference between Mirzapur and GREENWICH is 5 hr 30 min.
As the standard meridian of India is towards the east of the PRIME MERIDIAN, the standard time of India is 5 hrs 30 mins ahead of GMT.

Time zones are based on the fact that the Earth moves 15 degrees longitude each hour. Since there are 24 hours in a day there are 24 standard time zones. (24 hours x 15º=360º)
Time zones are counted from the Prime Meridian (0º longitude). Each time zone is counted at 15 º intervals and extends 7½º either side of a central meridian. For example, Sydney, Australia lies in the 150ºE central meridian, and the time zone includes all locations between 142½ºE and 157½ºE.
