110th meridian west

Imagine a big round ball, like a globe or a basketball. This ball is Earth, and it has imaginary lines drawn on it, kind of like giant spiderwebs. One of these lines goes right down the middle of the ball from the North Pole to the South Pole, like a giant zipper. We call this line the "prime meridian".

The 110th meridian west is another one of these lines, but instead of going down the middle like the prime meridian, it's a line that runs up and down on the left side of the ball. It starts at the North Pole and goes all the way down to the South Pole, just like the prime meridian.

The reason we care about the 110th meridian west is that it's an important line for determining time zones. Time zones are areas of the world where everyone agrees to use the same time, even if the sun rises and sets at different times in different places.

In the United States, the 110th meridian west is an important boundary. On one side of it, it's one hour earlier than the other side. That means if you're driving along that line, and you cross it, suddenly your clock will jump ahead or back an hour!

So even though it's just an imaginary line on a map, the 110th meridian west is important for helping us keep time and understand where we are in the world.
