There's no such thing as "the closest line". There's no standard set of "lines"
that everybody must use. You can draw a line on your map at ANY latitude.
The main door of the terminal building at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport
is located at 43.6316° north latitude
79.3959° west longitude. There are an infinite number of other points in Toronto, and most of them
are located at different latitudes.
The latitude of St. Petersburg located in Russia is 59.95 degrees north. The latitude of New York City in New York is 42.35 degrees north. The latitude line increases in numbers the further away it gets from the equator. This means that St. Petersburg Russia is closer to the North Pole.
The equator is the 'zero' of latitude, so the smaller the latitude number is, the closer it is to the equator. There's no such thing as the 'closest' or smallest. You can name any latitude you want to, and no matter how small it is, I can always name a smaller one.
it is 43 , 40 N
the line 0 degrees latitude is called the
Latitude: 43°42′59.72″N Longitude: 79°20′26.47″W latitude and longitude of Toronto, Ontario, Canada : 43.652527,-79.381961 latitude : 43.652527 longitude : -79.381961 (Values are in decimal degrees)
30 degrees north
The latitude of St. Petersburg located in Russia is 59.95 degrees north. The latitude of New York City in New York is 42.35 degrees north. The latitude line increases in numbers the further away it gets from the equator. This means that St. Petersburg Russia is closer to the North Pole.
About 23.5 degrees
The closest line of latitude to Mexico City is the Tropic of Cancer, at 30 degrees north. Mexico City itself is close to 19° N.
The Tropic of Cancer.
The center of Mexico City is located at 19.42° north latitude 99.13° west longitude. Would you ask someone "What line on the ruler is closest to your height ?" I'm guessing you'd ask him "How tall are you ?" Forget about "lines". There is no standard set of of latitude and longitude lines from which you have to choose one that's somewhere close.
The equator is the 'zero' of latitude, so the smaller the latitude number is, the closer it is to the equator. There's no such thing as the 'closest' or smallest. You can name any latitude you want to, and no matter how small it is, I can always name a smaller one.
The equator is an imaginary line that circles the earth at 0 degrees latitude. Many things lie along that line. The equator is the 'zero' of latitude, so the smaller the latitude number is, the closer it is to the equator. There's no such thing as the 'smallest'. You can name any latitude you want, and no matter how small it is, I can always name a smaller one.
a latitude line is a line going from east to west. Just like the equator. the equator is a latitude line measuring at ) degrees latitude.
it is 43 , 40 N
the line 0 degrees latitude is called the
No, the international date line is a line of longitude, not latitude.
