The location is used by mapping systems to trap errors. [8] Such errors arise, for example, where an image artifact is erroneously associated to the location by software which cannot attribute a geoposition, and instead associates a latitude and longitude of "Null,Null" or "0,0". [11]

Every day for 2 hours from 10:00 to 12:00 UTC there are 3 different days on earth. Example: On Tuesday 10:33 UTC it is Monday 22:33 on Baker Island(US), 23:33 on Midway(US), Pago Pago(American Samoa) and Alofi(Niue), Tuesday almost everywhere else on earth and Wednesday 00:33 in Kiritimati(Kiribati) in the Line Islands.
The equivalent line of latitude south of the Equator is called the Tropic of Capricorn, and the region between the two, centered on the Equator, is the tropics. In the year 2000, more than half of the world's population lived north of the Tropic of Cancer.
One result of this is that, at latitudes below ±2.0 degrees, all the days of the year are longer than the nights. [31] The times of sunset and sunrise vary with the observer's location (longitude and latitude), so the dates when day and night are equal also depend upon the observer's location.
The equator, a circle of latitude that divides a spheroid, such as Earth, into the northern and southern hemispheres. On Earth, it is an imaginary line located at 0 degrees latitude . 0°

With one exception (magnetic declination), they all depend on a common principle, which is to determine the time for an event or measurement and to compare it with the time at a different location. Longitude, being up to 180° east or west of a prime meridian , is mathematically related to time differences up to 12 hours by a factor of 15.
