Equator. Rather than distance, it is represented as an angle in degrees and parts of a degree.
The angle is that formed at the center of the earth, between the lines form the center to the equator, and the center to a point north or south on the surface.
Latitude is a horizontal line, on the lines of the equator, such as the Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn and the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. So it would define north or south if that answers your question.

Distance north or south on a map can be measured by what?
lines of latitude
What is the difference between a latitude-longitude map and a military grid reference system map?
Latitude measures the distance from East to West. Longitude measures the distance from North to South. As for Military Grid, it shows a location/object on the map and, what Latitude and Longitude line that location/object is on.
What are the Geographical poles on the earth?
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.
Latitude and longitude is measured in what?
latitude is degrees north or south of the equator and Longitude is degrees east or west of Greenwich
How many degrees of latitude separate the North and South Poles?
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. 180 degrees. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
What are Angular distance north or south of the equator?

Is Latitude the distance north or south of equator?
True
Measures distance north and south of the equator?
The North Pole is at 90 degrees north latitude, and the South Pole is at 90 degrees south latitude. So, distance north or south of the equator is called 'latitude'. One way to remember this is to think of the rungs of a ladder. "Ladder"-- "Lati-" you step up or down the 'rungs of ladder-tude'.
