11th meridian west

Hey there, kiddo! Let's talk about the 11th Meridian West!

So, you know how the Earth is a big round ball, right? Well, we can imagine that ball being sliced into big pieces like an orange. Those slices are what we call "meridians." They're lines that go from the top, all the way down to the bottom of the Earth.

Now, the 11th Meridian West is one of those slices, and it's located on the left side of the Earth. Imagine a line going from the very top of the Earth to the very bottom, and that line is the 11th Meridian West.

This meridian is important because it marks where the time zone changes. A time zone is a section of the Earth where people set their clocks to the same time. So, if you lived on the 11th Meridian West, you'd be in the same time zone as other people who live on that same line, even if they're on opposite sides of the Earth!

Does that make sense, kiddo? The 11th Meridian West is just a big line on the Earth that marks where the time zone changes.
