Most of the Caribbean islands are located within 10 degrees north latitude to the Tropic of Cancer (23.5 degrees north latitude). However, the Bahamas, which is part of the Caribbean Community, is not geographically located in the Caribbean, and thus is not taken into consideration here.
grid lines of longitude and latitude
Lines of latitude and longitude allow a specific point to be located any where on the world.
There are 2 major lines of latitude located north of the equator. The Tropic of Cancer is located at 23.5 degrees north latitude while the Arctic Circle is located at 66.5 degrees north latitude.
Lines of latitude run east-west as circles parallel (or horizontal lines) to the equator. Latitude measures the angle in degrees north or south from the equator where the equator is located at 0 degrees.
The north and south poles are at 90° latitude, and ALL longitudes meet there so longitude at the poles is irrelevant. Honestly, it's much easier to discuss these things if you forget about "lines".

Lines of latitude are called parallels. The lines start at the equator and are located north and south of the equator.

Latitude is side to side and longitude is up and down.

Longitude are the vertical lines found in a map or globe while latitude are the horizontal lines.
The lines that run north and south "or long ways" are longitude lines. East and west are latitude lines.
