The lines used to measure distances north and south of the equator are latitude lines. They include the equator (0 degrees latitude) and equidistant circles between the equator and the poles.
Latitude lines represent the surface points having the same angle from the equator, and planes perpendicular to the Earth's north-south axis.

Lines of latitude are imaginary lines used to measure distances north and south of the Equator or 0 degrees.

lines of latitude
longitude is the long way...or horizontal. latitude is vertical, or up and down.
Both are the same distance from the equator.
The Equator.
Yes. Kenya extends almost equal distances north and south of the equator ... from about 4.63° north latitude to 4.67° south latitude.
Lines of latitude. Longitude is from Pole to Pole.
The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude making it a parallel. Distances north and south of the equator are measured from this point.
