Lines of latitude Have flatitude. Longitudinal lines Rise like porcupines.
lines of latitude
The equator is the origin (the zero) of latitude.Latitude is measured in angles, not lines.
Distance from the Equator is measured using lines of latitude. The Equator is designated as 0 degrees latitude, and distances are measured in degrees, minutes, and seconds north or south of the Equator.
Degrees. They are measured in degrees, minutes, seconds and fractions of a second, depending on the accuracy required
latitude runs East to west. Longitude runs north to south. In other words, the lines of latitude are measured in degrees north and south of the equator and lines of longitude are measured in degrees east and west of the prime meridian.
Latitude is the angle, measured north or south, between the equator and a place.
The lines are never measured. They're only markers. Latitude and longitude are angles, that describe the locations of points on the surface of a sphere. They're expressed in units of angle measure, typically in decimal degrees, or degrees, minutes, and seconds.
Latitude lines run horizontal and are measured vertically. The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude. Hope this answers your question.
