40 South is closer to the equater than 80 North. By definition, we start counting degrees of latitude from the equater in two directions: North & South. 40 N & 40 S would be equel distances from the equater.

∙ 11y agoWell, latitudes and longitudes are all part of a coordinate system that refers only
to places on the Earth's surface, whereas the 'axis' is the imaginary pencil stuck
through the Earth on which it spins. So latitudes are all on the surface, but the
axis is entirely inside the globe.
Except for two points ! Those are the north and south poles, located at 90 degrees
north and south latitude respectively. Those are the two points where the axis
pokes through the surface.
