Great circle: any circle which divide circle into two equal half. a plane interacting the globe along a great circle divides the globe into equal halves and passes through its center. Small circle: a plane that intersects the globe along a small circle splits the globe into unequal sections-this plane does not pass through the center of the globe. time) 20 w(0 o"clock) and 160 e(12o"clock) was designed for the time zone.
