What two location on globe only list latitude lines but not longitude lines?
The north and south poles are at 90° latitude, and ALL longitudes meet there so longitude at the poles is irrelevant. Honestly, it's much easier to discuss these things if you forget about "lines".
If you were in New York City would you be closer to the North Pole or the Equator?
New York City is closer to the equator than the North Pole. It is near 41° N latitude.The equator is 41° south of NYC, but the North Pole is 49° north of the city, about 550 miles (8°) farther away.
Where are you if your longitude is 0?
You're somewhere on the Prime Meridian ... the line between the north pole and the south pole through Greenwich UK. If we also knew our latitude, we could put a much finer point on it.
How much of the north pole is land?
There is no specific land. The north pole is just a geographic location.There are ice sheets that cover the north pole. These ice sheets are thick enough to be walked on. There are island that are close to the north pole but there is no land in the north pole.
What can you do at the south pole?
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 South Pole is located on the continent of Antarctica. Unless you are using a navigational aid such as a GPS or similar, there is a big marker and a sign indicating that you are at the South Pole.
What does latitude measure?
Latitude measure North to South. This is a much more appropriate answer. Latitude measures the angle between your horizon and a polar star. Which in turn provides a measurement in degrees north or south of the Equator.
How much does the North Pole measure?
Neither the Geographic nor the Magnetic North Pole has any measurements. It has no size, no length or width. It is only a position on the Earth.

New York by 1 minute of latitude. Not much but at least a tie breaker.

Which city is farther north New York or London?
London is further north by 18o of latitude.
If you were in Green Bay Wisconsin would you be closer to the Equator or the North Pole?
Cadott, Wisconsin, is half way between the equator and the north pole, or so says a sign posted in their community. Madison is south and east of Cadott, so it's closer to the equator.A better way to determine this is to look up the latitude on which Madison is located. According to Wikipedia, it is at 43°4' N (latitude) and 89°24' W (longitude). Since the equator is 0° and the north pole 90°, Madison is closer to the equator than to the north pole.(just by a little though, i am not sure how much)
