-- The equator is midway between the poles, at zero latitude.
-- The north pole is at 90° north latitude, and the south pole is at 90° south latitude.
-- Traveling from one pole to the other, you travel through a total of 180° of latitude.
-- Which isn't so surprising when you consider that 360° takes you all-around something,
and from one pole to the other you've gone halfway around the Earth.
The equator is on the 0 degree latitude that is between the north and south poles. So obviously it is between the poles.
There are 180 degrees of latitude between the poles.
180 degrees
The Geographic Poles are just points; 90 Degrees North or South Latitude.
the Equator
The north pole is 90 degrees north latitude. The south pole is 90 degrees south latitude. When you travel from one pole to the other, you go through 180 degrees of latitude. Which isn't so surprising, since that trip takes you halfway around the world.
The lines that run north and south "or long ways" are longitude lines. East and west are latitude lines.
latitude
The Equator is the imaginary line halfway between the North and South Poles and is at zero degrees latitude. It divides the Earth into North and South Hemispheres and is equidistant from the North Pole and South Pole. The Sun appears directly above the Equator at the Autumn and Spring equinox.The equator.the equator.
The geographical poles are the North and South Poles. The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
The equator is the line on the map that is midway between the North and South Poles. It is located at 0 degrees latitude and divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
The latitude of the North Pole is 90 degrees north, and the latitude of the South Pole is 90 degrees south.
