Today we covered what happens when we have a fraction of a degree. We thought about if we sliced the Earth in the middle and looked at a cross section of it. We agreed that the width of 1 whole degree would represent the distance between cities, possibly countries. So then to be more accurate, we can break down degrees into minutes and seconds. We learned there are 60 minutes in 1 degree, and 60 seconds in 1 minute. Then we practiced converting decimal degrees into minutes and seconds.
