Zero degrees
The numbering of parallels on a map begins at the Equator with zero degrees. Degrees ae counted away from the equator, both to the north and to the south. The north Ppole is 90 degrees north of the Equator and the South Pole is 90 degree south of the Equator.
Just like the equator, England is right down on the Earth's surface. It's north latitude ranges from roughly 49.97° to 55.81°. It could appear either above or below the equator, depending on how you hold your map, and where the map was printed.
The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude on a map grid, dividing the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
It is the intersection of the Equator and the Prime Meridian, which occurs in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
The equator is 90 degrees of latitude from both poles.
The south pole is 90 degrees south of the equator. The north pole is 90 degrees north of the equator.
That is the Prime Meridian. The Equator is zero degrees latitude.
The two tropics on the world map are the Tropic of Cancer, located at approximately 23.5 degrees north of the equator, and the Tropic of Capricorn, located at approximately 23.5 degrees south of the equator.
Latitude is measured on a map or globe in degrees, with the equator being 0 degrees and the North and South Poles being 90 degrees north and south, respectively.
