It does. It is the plane angle, measured at the centre of the earth, between the given position and the equator due south or north of that position. The third dimention is not necessary until longitude is added.

What is distance north or south of the equator called?

Is the distance north and south of the equator and is measured in degrees?
Latitude.
What is longitude passes through equator?
Lines of Latitude run east and west (aka the Equator which is zero degrees latitude) and are measured north and south of the equator. Lines of longitude run north and south and are measured east and west from the Prime Meridian in Greenwhich, England.
What is distance north or south of the earth's equator?

No. Latitude is an angle measured north or south of the equator.
What is at 0 degrees latitude?
The equator. Lines of latitude are measured north (°N) and south (°S) of the equator. The maximum latitude is 90°N = North Pole, 90°S = South Pole.
