Because California was in both the north and south.
Simply because it was a compromise - offering each side only part of what it wanted. As both sides were equally dissatisfied wirh it, however, it managed to preserve the balance, and it kept the pece for thirty years, until the admission of California defeated the terms of the compromise.

The Missouri Compromise allowed Missouri to be admitted in the Union as a slave state.The Missouri Compromise allowed Missouri to be admitted into the Union as a slave state.
Thirty years of peace, owing to the simplicity of the solution - a clear line in the sand, with no slavery allowed to the North of it. It was the admission of California - too big to fit the terms of the Compromise - that led to the scrambled Compromise of 1850, which did not hold.

It managed to keep the peace for thirty years, until the annexing of the vast new territories from Mexico. The terms of the Compromise did not apply to these territories. It might have been better if they had.

No. The Missouri Compromise allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave-state, on condition that there would be no more slave-states North of the parallel that marked Missouri's Southern border.
In its time, the Missouri Compromise was the solution made to keep the number of Slave and Free States in an even balance. The growth of the United States would later demand another way to keep both the South and the North balanced.
The Missouri Compromise agreed to admit Missouri as a slave-holding state, and at the same time agreed to admit Maine as a non-slave-holding state. It also entailed that no states above the latitudinal line 36°30' would be admitted as a slave-holding state, promoting a Congressional balance of power.
