You don't calculate the latitude of a place, any more than you calculate the address
of your friend's house. That's something he tells you. He gives you a number and the
name of a street, and then you know where he's located. In the same way, when you
get the latitude and longitude of a place, then you know where it's located.

What line of latitude do hurricanes generally begin to form?
Approximately 30 degrees.
How many lines of latitude in a hemisphere?
there are 180 degrees of latitudes 90 in each hemisphere 181 in total counting the equator
Where does the grand canyon begin and end in latitude and longitude?
They begin at the equator, 0 degrees. The end at the poles 90 degrees.
How many degrees of latitude are there from zero degrees latitude to the north pole?
There are 90 degrees latitude from the equator (zero degrees latitude) to the North Pole.
What is co-latitude and latitude?
Latitude is the measurement of degrees from the equator to the pole so that the pole has a latitude of 90 degrees. Co-latitude is the measurement of degrees from the pole to the equator so that the equator has a latitude of 90 degrees. Also the sum of latitude and co-latitude is always 90 degrees.
Where do you begin counting degrees of latitude?
The equator is the origin of latitude.All latitudes are expressed in terms of an angle north or south of the equator.
What line of latitude do hurricanes generally begin to form?
Approximately 30 degrees.

there are 180 degrees of latitudes 90 in each hemisphere 181 in total counting the equator
Where does the grand canyon begin and end in latitude and longitude?
They begin at the equator, 0 degrees. The end at the poles 90 degrees.
How many degrees of latitude are there from zero degrees latitude to the north pole?
There are 90 degrees latitude from the equator (zero degrees latitude) to the North Pole.
What is co-latitude and latitude?
Latitude is the measurement of degrees from the equator to the pole so that the pole has a latitude of 90 degrees. Co-latitude is the measurement of degrees from the pole to the equator so that the equator has a latitude of 90 degrees. Also the sum of latitude and co-latitude is always 90 degrees.
What is the latitude of 60 degrees north?
60 degrees north is a latitude.
What is the line of latitude that is zero degrees latitude is the?
Zero degrees of latitude is the Equator.
What is the degrees between the lines of latitude?
A line of latitude is the line of latitude shown on a map, usually representing 10 degrees latitude. Degrees of latitude are simply the number of degrees, such as 33.33 etc.
What is the difference between lines and degrees of latitude?
A line of latitude is the line of latitude shown on a map, usually representing 10 degrees latitude. Degrees of latitude are simply the number of degrees, such as 33.33 etc.
Where does east end and west begin?
East and West technically don't end or begin, but there are lines of latitude that show where the Eastern and Western lines of latitude begin and end. The Prime Meridian, (0 degrees) runs through Greenwich, London, England, and any line of latitude away from it is labeled with the corresponding direction from the Prime Meridian. East and West lines end at 180 degrees, directly opposite the Prime Meridian.
What are zero degrees of latitude?
0 degrees latitude is the Equator.
