That's the Tropic of Capricorn, no matter what I call it.

What do you call the line of latitude that is exactly halfway between the north pole and the south pole?
The equator (zero degrees latitude) is a line halfway between the North Pole (90 degrees N latitude) and the South Pole (90 degrees S latitude). Any point on the equator is equidistant from the poles.
Is the equator 0 degrees longitude?
Because that's its definition. When the scale of latitude was invented, zero could have been placed anywhere. For example, the south pole might have been defined as the zero, and latitudes on earth would range from zero up to 180° at the north pole. But instead, it was decided to put zero in the middle, and call the south latitudes negative and the north ones positive.
What do we call the line of latitude 23.5 degrees north of the equator?
That's the approximate latitude of the Tropic of Cancer.
What do we call the imaginary line that is located at 0 degrees latitude?
that would be the equator
What city is located at 16 degree south latitude and 116 degrees north?
No point on Earth can have both a north and a south coordinate. (Except points on the equator, where latitude is zero so it doesn't matter whether you call it zero north or zero south.)

What do you call zero degrees latitude?
0 degree latitude is called equator

No point on Earth can have both a north and a south coordinate. (Except points on the equator, where latitude is zero so it doesn't matter whether you call it zero north or zero south.)
Distance north or south on a map can be measured by which of these?
Latitude measures North or South of the Equator in degrees. 0° is the Equator, and 90° N (or +90°) is the North Pole, and 90° S (or -90°) is the South Pole. Each degree of latitude is about 69 miles (or 60 Nautical Miles). Longitude lines (which run north and south, but measure east/west) get closer together as you approach either pole.
What city has the coordinates of 30 degrees North and 96 degrees South?
No point on Earth can have both a north and a south coordinate (unless the point is on the equator, where the latitude is zero so it doesn't matter whether you call it zero north or zero south, or both).
The line of latitude found at 0 is call the?
The zero line of longitude is the Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian runs from pole to pole, passing through the Greenwich Observatory, England.
What do you call 0 degrees latitude and longitude?
0 degree latitude is called equator and 0 degree longitude is called prime meridian
What is the location at zero degree latitude?
In the Gulf of Guinea, south of Ghana and west of Gabon
What do you call zero latitude?
I call it the latitude of any point on the equator.
