The Philippines is an archipelago located in Southeast Asia between Taiwan and Borneo. It comprises over 7,600 islands with a total land area of 300,000 square kilometers. The archipelago stretches from latitude 4°34' N to latitude 21°10' N, and longitude 116°40' E to longitude 127°8' E, making it the world's 5th largest island country. The islands are divided into three main groups - Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The largest island is Luzon, containing over 40% of the country's total land area. Manila, the capital city, is located on Luzon.

- 4. LATITUDE Latitude is the measurement of distance north or south of the Equator. It is measured with 180 imaginary lines that form circles around the Earth east-west, parallel to the Equator. These lines are known as parallels. A circle of latitude is an imaginary ring linking all points sharing a parallel.

- 6. LONGITUDE Longitude is the measurement east or west of the prime meridian. Longitude is measured by imaginary lines that run around the Earth vertically (up and down) and meet at the North and South Poles. These lines are known as meridians.

- 8. EQUATOR An equator is an imaginary line around the middle of a planet or other celestial body. It is halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole, at 0 degrees latitude. An equator divides the planet into a Northern Hemisphere and a Southern Hemisphere.The Earth is widest at its Equator.

- 10. PRIME MERIDIAN The Prime Meridian, as it passes through Greenwich, England, is considered 0 degrees longitude. Because both the equator and the Prime Meridian are imaginary lines, they were both established by mankind at some point in human history.

- 12. THE TROPIC OF CANCER The Tropic of Cancer, which is also referred to as the Northern Tropic, is the most northerly circle of latitude on Earth at which the Sun can be directly overhead. This occurs on the June solstice, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun to its maximum extent.

- 14. TROPIC OF CAPRICORN Tropic of Capricorn is an imaginary latitude line that goes around the globe on the south of the equator at approximately 23.50. It is the most southern point on earth and corresponds to the declination of the sun's ecliptic to the celestial equator.
- 16. THE ARCTIC CIRCLE The Arctic Circle is a region on Earth that is marked as one of the five major circles of latitude on maps of our planet. It is located between the Arctic to its north and the NorthernTemperate Zone to its south. Its counterpart in the Southern Hemisphere is known as the Antarctic Circle
- 18. THE NORTHTEMPERATE ZONE Zones and climates. The north temperate zone extends from (approximately 23.5° north) to the Arctic Circle (approximately 66.5° north latitude). The south temperate zone extends from (approximately 23.5° south) to the Antarctic Circle (approximately 66.5° south).
- 20. THE SOUTHTEMPERATE ZONE The South temperate zone, between the Tropic of Capricorn 23.5° S and the Antarctic Circle 66.5° S. Covers 25.99% of Earth's surface. The South frigid zone, from Antarctic Circle 66.5° S and the South Pole 90° S. Covers 4.12% of Earth's surface.

- 23. THE PHILIPPINES IS AN ARCHIPELAGO The Philippines is an archipelago that comprises 7,641 islands with a total land area of 300,000 square kilometers (115,831 sq mi). It is the world's 5th largest island country. The eleven largest islands contain 95% of the total land area.The largest of these islands is Luzon at about 105,000 square kilometers (40,541 sq mi). The next largest island is Mindanao at about 95,000 square kilometers (36,680 sq mi).The archipelago is around 800 kilometers (500 mi) from the Asian mainland and is located betweenTaiwan and Borneo.
