The horizontal lines are called lines of latitude, and all these lines would be numbers that end with S, indicating that they are in the Southern Hemisphere.
As well, there are vertical lines, called lines of longitude, which indicate where in the Eastern or Western Hemisphere the line is located. The numbers would end in either E or W.

What lines measure the distance north and south of the equator?
Lines of latitude. Longitude is from Pole to Pole.
What do the equator and the north pole have in common?
longitude lines they converge at the poles and are widest at the equator also the south pole
What are the lines halfway between the North and South Pole?
the equator
5. In what direction is the equator from the South Pole?
The equator is North, as is everything else on earth when you are at the South Pole. From the south Pole, every direction is north.The North pole is the northernmost point on Earth. The South Pole is the southernmost point on Earth. The Equator is a line running circumferentially around the Earth and is midway between the poles. The Equator is south of the North Pole and north of the South Pole.All lines of latitude -- including the Equator -- are north of the South Pole.
What are the lines called that measure distance from either side of the Equator to the poles?
you know.. either both are equal..it is the line from the equator going to the north or south pole is 300,000 km . . . south and north are equal . . . its called OMANCIKZ LINE.. called the line of south and north...
How many degrees south is the equator from the south pole?
90 degrees. The Equator is at 0 degrees latitude. The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
How many degrees south of the equator in the south pole?
The South Pole is 90 degrees south of the Equator.
Lines of latitude are also called what?
Parallels and meridians. Circles parallel to the Equator (lines running east and west) are parallels of latitude. They are used to measure degrees of latitude north or south of the Equator. Meridians of longitude are drawn from the North Pole to the South Pole and are at right angles to the Equator.
Lines running parallel to the equator are called?
You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.
Is Antarctica to the south of the equator?
Yes. The arctic is at the north pole. The antarctic is at the south pole. The south pole is below the equator. The north pole is above the equator.
Is the longitude north or south of which imaginary line?
Latitude is measured north and south of the equator.
How many degrees the south of the equator is the south pole?
The south pole is 90 degrees south of the equator. The north pole is 90 degrees north of the equator.
