Important question ... the concept is involved with several other things associated with the moon.
The moon's orbit is inclined about 5.1° to the ecliptic plane ... which immediately explains why
neither solar nor lunar eclipses happen every month: The moon is typically above or below the
straight line required to set up an eclipse.
As seen from here on earth, the moon can appear anywhere within 5.1° above or below the ecliptic
line in the sky, which in turn means anywhere within about 28.6° above or below the celestial equator.
That apparent range of 5.1° above or below the ecliptic amounts to about 10 times the apparent
diameter of the full moon.

Above the equator the higher the number of latitude the farther you are?
above the equator the higher the number of latitude the father blank you are
What happens when you move north or south of the equator?
As one moves south the constellations appear differently due to the shape of our Earth. They appear higher the further south you are.
What are the normal ocean circulation patterns?
The normal circulation patterns of the oceans are from east to west in the north. The circulation reverses in the south moving west to east.
Are the latitudes in Iceland positive or negative?
There are no negative latitudes, its either north or south(of the equator). As you go up, or north from the equator, the latitudes go up. As you go south and move below the equator the latitudes go up as you move south. 63°17′N to 67°08′09″N, this is the range for Iceland.
How does the Sun's vertical ray change from the Winter Solstice to the Summer Solstice?
The vertical rays appear to move from the Tropic of Capricorn, across the Equator, to the Tropic of Cancer.

Where does the moon appear to rise?
As moon revolves around the earth and earth rotates. The moon appears to move from below horizon to above. The relative motion above the horizon gives an illusion of rising and setting from east to west.
What is the inclination of a satellite to the earths equator?
There is no set inclination of a satellites orbit to the earth's equator. Once in space, the spin of the earth or where it's poles happen to be become irrelevant to the satellite. Many satellites like spy and weather satellites orbit over the two poles (north and south) while communication satellites are placed in orbit directly above the equator at a height that is synchronised with the earth's orbit. This way they stay permanently above the same place on the equator and do not APPEAR to move at all.
What are the normal ocean circulation patterns?
The normal circulation patterns of the oceans are from east to west in the north. The circulation reverses in the south moving west to east.
Where do warm currents move from?
Warm currents move from the equator to the poles, and the cold currents move from the poles to the equator. :D
Are the latitudes in Iceland positive or negative?
There are no negative latitudes, its either north or south(of the equator). As you go up, or north from the equator, the latitudes go up. As you go south and move below the equator the latitudes go up as you move south. 63°17′N to 67°08′09″N, this is the range for Iceland.
Did mass change when you move from equator to poles?
No. Your mass doesn't even change when you move from the equator to the moon.
How does the Sun's vertical ray change from the Winter Solstice to the Summer Solstice?
The vertical rays appear to move from the Tropic of Capricorn, across the Equator, to the Tropic of Cancer.
If you walked north from the equator 10 and deg how would you expect Polaris to move?
answer: It would rise above the horizon 10°. hope it helps!
Does the line of the equator move?
No.
Can objects be designed so that their shapes causes air to move different speeds above and below them?
It can
