That's latitude.

The distance to the north or south pole from the equator is 90°

Therefore, the distance from the north pole to the south pole, in degrees, is 180°.

The distance in degrees to a certain location from the equator is referred to as the latitude. For instance, I am at about 49° latitude, or at a 49° angle from the equator if you were positioned at the center of the earth. Each degree of latitude is about 69 miles (111 km).
