The greatest latitudes on Earth are 90°N at the north pole

and 90°S at the south pole.

But both of those are just points. The highest line of latitude is

the one that marks the biggest number that's less than 90 ...

including decimals.

(Before you sprain your brain trying to find it, I'll tell you that you

can't. No matter what number you pick, I can alwaysname a

different number that's bigger than yours and still less than 90.)
