Latitudes farther from the equator have higher numbers. The equator is 'zero' latitude, and the poles are 90 degrees north and south.
This is because there are 90 latitudes above the equator, 90 latitudes below the equator and one is the equator itself.....so when we add them up (including the equator) we get 181.
Because its the foundation for the all latitudes and all latitudes start to originate up and down from the equator.

there are 181 latitudes.90 latitudes above equator+90 latitudes below the equator +equator.90+90+1=181

Latitudes closer to the Equator have warmer climates because they receive direct sunlight and therefore, the latitudes get evidently heated. :)

The latitudes that are around the equator are the latitudes that usually have the warmest temperatures. Countries and cities around the equator usually experience sunshine all year round.
There are no negative latitudes, its either north or south(of the equator). As you go up, or north from the equator, the latitudes go up. As you go south and move below the equator the latitudes go up as you move south. 63°17′N to 67°08′09″N, this is the range for Iceland.
Another name for the middle latitudes is the temperate regions.
30 degrees latitude north and south of the equator
