There are 90° of latitude north and 90° of latitude south of the equator. So for any given longitude, you have 180 possible latitude degrees. It is important to note that latitudes are a constant distance apart (about 69 miles or 111 km per degree) while longitudinal lines get closer together as they near the poles.
