I live in London England if I fly from here to Texas I have to fly over Canada. That makes no sense as when I look at the globe I see that Canada is North not just of Texas but the rest of the United States. How do you explain this anomaly?

these lines are not real so Imagine you are going on a trip to France, and
you want to inform your friend about the
country's location on the map. You can share
the lines of longitude and latitude with him or
her. Your friend will then be able to easily locate
France on the map.
