Sixty degrees north is 60 degrees away from the Equator.
The latitude of 60 degrees north is 60 degrees north of the equator. It is considered the Arctic Circle, a line of latitude at approximately 66.5 degrees north that marks the southernmost point where the sun does not set on the summer solstice.
The distance north or south of the equator is measured in degrees of latitude. For example, the equator is measured at 0 degrees; Sydney Australia lies 33.51 degrees south of the equator; Helsinki Finland lies 60 degrees north of the equator.
90. techically if the earth is a sphere, it isn't, but bear with it, then 360 degrees in a circle divided into 4 = 90 degrees in each quarter
The "north" and "south" latitude references begin at the equator. So "20 degrees" north or south are both 20 degrees from the equator, and "10 degrees" north or south are both 10 degrees from the equator. 10 is closer to the equator than 20.
Sixty degrees north is 60 degrees away from the Equator.
60 degrees north refers to a location 60 degrees north of the equator, while 60 degrees south refers to a location 60 degrees south of the equator. These positions are on opposite sides of the equator and would have different climates, wildlife, and geography due to their respective hemispheres.
One is north, the other south, of the equator. The difference is 60 - (-60) = 120 degrees.
The latitude of 60 degrees north is 60 degrees north of the equator. It is considered the Arctic Circle, a line of latitude at approximately 66.5 degrees north that marks the southernmost point where the sun does not set on the summer solstice.

No.Latitude (the north/south measurement) begins at the equator.So 50 degrees north is 50 degrees from the equator,and 40 degrees south is 40 degrees from the equator.Now can you tell which one is closer to the equator ?
90 degrees north latitude is the north pole. The equator is zero latitude.
The degrees between the Equator and the southern tip of Greenland is 60 degrees
The degrees north of the equator for Turkey is between 37* and 42* north of the equator. This is a distance of 2500 miles.
No point on the Earth can have both a north latitude and a south latitude.Welll, yes, I guess some do. Points on the Equator all have latitudes of zero,so if you wanted to, you could say that the latitude of any of those points issimultaneously zero north AND zero south.
