The earth is almost spherical. So if you travel north from the equator you are on a circular path (a line of longitude), and distance around a circle is measured in degrees. The north pole is at 90 degrees north (so 60 degrees is two thirse the way). Similarly if you travel east, you are going around a circle parallel to the equator. Zero degrees is traditionally at Greenwich in London, England. So 50 degrees east is 50 degrees around this circle (of latitude). All lines of longitude meet at the poles. All lines of latitude are parallel to the equator (which is zero latitude).

Is 50 degrees NE equal to N 50degrees East?

No, 50 degrees NE is not equal to N 50 degrees E. "50 degrees NE" typically refers to a direction that is halfway between north and east, specifically at a 50-degree angle from the north towards the east. In contrast, "N 50 degrees E" indicates a direction starting from north and then moving 50 degrees toward the east, which is a more eastern direction than 50 degrees NE.
