Right ascension (abbrev. RA; symbol α) is the astronomical term for one of the two coordinates of a point on the celestial sphere when using the equatorial coordinate system. The other coordinate is the declination.
RA is the celestial equivalent of terrestrial longitude.
Scorpius can be located at RA of 16 hrs. 53 min. 15 sec.
The coordinates for Scorpius is 16h 53m 15s, −30° 44′ 12″

There are 90 degrees latitude from the equator (zero degrees latitude) to the North Pole.
Latitude is the measurement of degrees from the equator to the pole so that the pole has a latitude of 90 degrees. Co-latitude is the measurement of degrees from the pole to the equator so that the equator has a latitude of 90 degrees. Also the sum of latitude and co-latitude is always 90 degrees.
60 degrees north is a latitude.
0 degrees latitude is the Equator.
Zero degrees latitude is the Equator.

A line of latitude is the line of latitude shown on a map, usually representing 10 degrees latitude. Degrees of latitude are simply the number of degrees, such as 33.33 etc.
Zero degrees of latitude is the Equator.
