You can only travel 90 degrees north, which is the North Pole. The poles are in a plane (all planes) perpendicular to the equator.

What is the maximum number of degrees away from the equator that the suns direct ray can shine?
roughly 23.5 degrees north or south of the equator
What is the number of degrees of latitude?
90 degrees north of the equator, and 90 degrees south of the equator. Total: 180 degrees, from pole to pole.
Is ninety degrees north closer to the equator than forty degrees south?
No, 40 degrees south latitude is closer to the equator than 90 degrees north latitude. All latitude originates from the equator, so as the number increases, the further it is away from the equator, regardless of north or south.
What is the maximum latitude?
The greatest possible number of degrees of latitude is 90. Latitude is measured from the equator toward the North Pole or toward the South Pole. The equator is zero degrees of latitude. The North Pole is 90 degrees N, and the South Pole is 90 degrees S.
How many degrees the south of the equator is the south pole?
The south pole is 90 degrees south of the equator. The north pole is 90 degrees north of the equator.
What is at 0 degrees latitude?
The equator. Lines of latitude are measured north (°N) and south (°S) of the equator. The maximum latitude is 90°N = North Pole, 90°S = South Pole.
What tropic lies south degrees of the equator?
The tropic that lies 23.5 degrees south of the equator is Capricorn
Is 20 degrees Southe closer to the equator or is 10 degrees north?
The "north" and "south" latitude references begin at the equator. So "20 degrees" north or south are both 20 degrees from the equator, and "10 degrees" north or south are both 10 degrees from the equator. 10 is closer to the equator than 20.
Why longitudes are 360 and latitudes are 180?
Lines of longitude (meridians) run north/south and measure angular distance east and west of the prime meridian to a maximum of 180 degrees east or west. Lines of latitude (parallels) measure angular distance from the equator. The maximum is 90 degrees north or south of the equator.
What is distance north or south of the equator called?
The distance north or south of the equator is measured in degrees of latitude. For example, the equator is measured at 0 degrees; Sydney Australia lies 33.51 degrees south of the equator; Helsinki Finland lies 60 degrees north of the equator.
Which line is closer to the equator 30N or 15S?
25 degrees south (or north) is closer to the equator that 30 degrees north (or south).This has a lot to do with the mathematical fact that 25 is less than 30.The equator is the 'zero' of latitude; 'north' and 'south' start from it.
Is Uruguay north or south of the equator?
