# Brief Explanations:
To solve the crossword, we analyze each clue:

### Across Clues:
1. A line dividing Earth into two equal halves (two words): **Equator**? No, wait, "Equator" is one word. Wait, "Great Circle"? No, the clue says two words. Wait, "Prime Meridian"? No, the equator divides into Northern and Southern, but a line that divides into two equal halves (like hemispheres) – "Equator" is 0° latitude, but "Prime Meridian" is 0° longitude. Wait, the correct two - word answer for a line dividing Earth into two equal halves (like Northern and Southern or Eastern and Western) – actually, the "Equator" is 0° latitude, dividing into Northern and Southern hemispheres. But the clue says two words. Wait, maybe "Great Circle" is not. Wait, no, the correct answer for a line dividing Earth into two equal halves (two words) is **"Equator"**? No, "Equator" is one word. Wait, maybe "Prime Meridian"? No. Wait, the clue is "A line that divides the earth into two equal halves (two words)". The correct answer is **"Equator"**? No, maybe I'm wrong. Wait, let's check other clues.

5. All places south of the equator: **Southern Hemisphere** (two words).

12. All places east of Prime Meridian to 180°: **Eastern Hemisphere** (two words).

13. Measures east - west from Prime Meridian: **Longitude** (but the clue is for the answer, and "Longitude" measures east - west).

14. 0° longitude: **Prime Meridian** (two words).

### Down Clues:
2. 180° longitude line (three words): **International Date Line**

3. Another name for lines of longitude: **Meridians**

4. All places west of Prime Meridian to 180°: **Western Hemisphere** (two words)

5. 90°S latitude: **South Pole** (two words)

6. 0° latitude: **Equator**

7. 90°N latitude: **North Pole** (two words)

8. Another name for lines of latitude: **Parallels**

9. All places north of equator: **Northern Hemisphere** (two words)

10. Measures north - south from equator: **Latitude**

11. Unit of latitude/longitude measurement: **Degree**

Let's solve each clue:

1. Across 1: A line dividing Earth into two equal halves (two words) – The equator divides Earth into Northern and Southern hemispheres. But "Equator" is one word. Wait, maybe the clue is wrong, or I misread. Wait, maybe "Great Circle" is not. Wait, no, the correct two - word answer for a line dividing Earth into two equal halves (like the equator) – maybe the answer is **"Equator"** (but it's one word). Wait, maybe the clue means two words, so maybe "Prime Meridian"? No. Wait, perhaps the answer is **"Equator"** (even though it's one word, maybe the clue has a typo).

5. Across 5: All places on Earth south of the equator are in the **Southern Hemisphere**

12. Across 12: All places on Earth east from the Prime Meridian to 180° are in the **Eastern Hemisphere**

13. Across 13: Measures distance east and west from the Prime Meridian – **Longitude**

14. Across 14: The name given to 0° longitude (two words) – **Prime Meridian**

2. Down 2: Name given to 180° longitude line (three words) – **International Date Line**

3. Down 3: Another name for lines of longitude – **Meridians**

4. Down 4: All places on Earth west from the Prime Meridian to 180° are in the **Western Hemisphere**

5. Down 5: Represents 90°S latitude (two words) – **South Pole**

6. Down 6: 0° latitude – **Equator**

7. Down 7: Represents 90°N latitude (two words) – **North Pole**

8. Down 8: Another name for lines of latitude – **Parallels**

9. Down 9: All places north of equator – **Northern Hemisphere**

10. Down 10: Measures distance north and south from equator – **Latitude**

11. Down 11: Unit of longitude and latitude measurement – **Degree**

Now, let's fill the crossword:

- Across 1: Let's assume the answer is "Equator" (even though it's one word, maybe the clue's "two words" is a mistake) or maybe "Great Circle" is not. Wait, no, the correct answer for a line dividing Earth into two equal halves (two words) is actually "Equator" (maybe the clue has a typo).

- Across 5: SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE (but the grid for 5: let's check the grid. The 5th across has a certain number of squares. Let's count: the 5th across in the grid – looking at the image, the 5th across has, from the grid, let's see the squares. But since we can infer, "Southern Hemisphere" is two words, so S - O - U - T - H - E - R - N (8 letters) and H - E - M - I - S - P - H - E - R - E (10 letters)? Wait, no, the grid for 5 across: looking at the image, the 5th across has a number of squares. Wait, maybe the 5th across is "Southern Hemisphere" (but maybe the grid has the correct number of squares).

Similarly, other clues can be filled with the above answers.

# Answer:
Here are the answers for each clue:

1. Across: Equator (Note: If two - word is required, maybe a mistake, but "Equator" is the line dividing into Northern and Southern hemispheres)
5. Across: Southern Hemisphere
12. Across: Eastern Hemisphere
13. Across: Longitude
14. Across: Prime Meridian
2. Down: International Date Line
3. Down: Meridians
4. Down: Western Hemisphere
5. Down: South Pole
6. Down: Equator
7. Down: North Pole
8. Down: Parallels
9. Down: Northern Hemisphere
10. Down: Latitude
11. Down: Degree

(Note: For the crossword grid, each answer should be filled into the corresponding numbered grid with the correct number of letters. For example, "Prime Meridian" (14 across) has 12 letters (P - R - I - M - E -  (5)  M - E - R - I - D - I - A - N (7)? Wait, "Prime Meridian" is P(1), R(2), I(3), M(4), E(5),  (space), M(6), E(7), R(8), I(9), D(10), I(11), A(12), N(13)? No, "Prime Meridian" is two words: "Prime" (5 letters) and "Meridian" (8 letters), so total 13 letters? Wait, the 14th across in the grid: looking at the image, the 14th across has a long line of squares, so "Prime Meridian" (12 letters: P - R - I - M - E (5), M - E - R - I - D - I - A - N (8)? No, "Prime" is 5, "Meridian" is 8, so 5 + 1 (space) + 8 = 14? Wait, the 14th across in the grid has, from the image, a long row of squares, so "Prime Meridian" fits.
