The Equator.
Distance north or south measured in degrees is called latitude.
Latitude. 2nd answer: Latitude is the wrong answer. Distance is measured in miles, feet, yards, meters, kilometers, and so forth. Latitude is a measurement of degrees, not distance.
True. Latitude is the distance north or south of the equator, measured in degrees. The equator is at 0 degrees latitude, with the North Pole being at 90 degrees north latitude and the South Pole at 90 degrees south latitude.
The distance north and south of the equator is measured in degrees of latitude. The equator is designated as 0° latitude, with measurements increasing to 90° north and 90° south.
Latitude
Latitude is how far something is North or South of the Equator.
Equator. The Latitude of a place is measured in degrees north or south of the Equator.
Latitude is the angular distance north or south of the equator. Longitude is the angular distance east or west of the equator.
True
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'.
Latitude is the location distance north or south of the equator, measured in degrees from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles.
Lines of latitude measure the distance north and south of the equator, which is the imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude.
