The equator is 90 degrees of latitude from both poles.
Latitude is the location distance north or south of the equator, measured in degrees from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles.
Parallels measure distance from the equator to the poles, specifically the North and South Poles. They are lines of latitude, with the equator at 0 degrees latitude and the poles at 90 degrees latitude. Each degree of latitude corresponds to approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers) on the Earth's surface.
The equator is on the 0 degree latitude that is between the north and south poles. So obviously it is between the poles.
Latitude is the curvature of the Earth where it is hotter on the equator and it gets colder nearer the poles.
The equator is an imaginary line equidistant from the poles, and is the starting point or 0° in latitude.
Latitude is zero at every point on the equator.
The latitude can be thought of as the distance from the equator. 0 degrees latitude is the equator, which is typically warmer than locations closer than the poles. As you move away from the Equator and towards the North or South poles, the weather tends to be colder. In contrast, the region between the poles and the equator often has a greater temperature range variation.
Latitude lines
The graduation or scale of measurement of latitude from the equator to the poles is not the same because the Earth is not a perfect sphere but an oblate spheroid. As you move from the equator towards the poles, the lines of latitude get closer together due to the decreasing circumference of the Earth. This means that the distance covered by each degree of latitude decreases towards the poles.
latitude
Every point on the equator is equal distances from the north and south poles. No other line of latitude can make that statement.
