Pretend you are visiting the equator and it is 12pm. When you look up at the sun, it is exactly over your head. You call a friend on the phone, and your friend says it is also 12pm at their house, but the Sun is not exactly overhead. It is actually a little lower in the sky. Are the longitude lines and latitude lines where you are the same as or different from the longitude lines and latitude lines where your friend is. How do you know?

Answer:

Different

Step-by-step explanation:

Surely, the longitude lines and latitude lines where you are different from the longitude lines and latitude lines where your friend is. This is evident from the fact that sun's position in the sky is different at same time of the date. Your are the equator, then your friend must be above equator in northern hemisphere or below in southern hemisphere.
