4500km in a straight line
South of the equator
No, 80 degrees N is not closer to the equator than 40 degrees SNo. 40 North is the same distance as 40 South, so 80 North is much further.
40 degrees south because it is closer to the equator, and the equator is where there is warmer climates
40 South is closer to the equater than 80 North. By definition, we start counting degrees of latitude from the equater in two directions: North & South. 40 N & 40 S would be equel distances from the equater.
No, 40 degrees south latitude is closer to the equator than 90 degrees north latitude. All latitude originates from the equator, so as the number increases, the further it is away from the equator, regardless of north or south.
No.Latitude (the north/south measurement) begins at the equator.So 50 degrees north is 50 degrees from the equator,and 40 degrees south is 40 degrees from the equator.Now can you tell which one is closer to the equator ?
Between 31 and 40 degrees latitude north and south of the equator
40 degrees. The equator is zero latitude.
== == It should be about 2760 miles, based on this worksheet: http://www.learner.org/jnorth/tm/DistanceLatLongAnswers.html
No, 40oS is closer. The number of degrees is the angle/distance from the equator. North/South is simply the direction in which you are moving away from the equator.
The difference is 40 degrees. Latitudes are referenced to zero at the equator.
No, you are in the southern hemisphere, as you are 20 degrees south of the equator.
