Nothing (on Earth) is east of the equator.
It's east of the prime meridian ... and it's called 66.5 degrees east longitude.

How many degrees south is the equator from the south pole?
90 degrees. The Equator is at 0 degrees latitude. The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
How many degrees of longitude are between north and south pole?
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles. There are 180 degrees of latitude between the North and South Poles, and 90 degrees of latitude between each pole and the Equator.
Where can we find the equator and the prime meridian?
they are
Latitude is a location north or south of the equator measured in the units of?
Latitude and longitude are angles, and are stated in degrees and fractions of degrees.
What is an imaginary line running halfway between the north pole and south pole this line is located at 0 degrees longitude?
The imaginary line at zero degrees longitude is the Prime Meridian. The imaginary line halfway between the poles is the Equator. The Equator is zero degrees latitude.
Latitude and longitude is measured in what?
latitude is degrees north or south of the equator and Longitude is degrees east or west of Greenwich

What is an imaginary line running halfway between the north pole and south pole this line is located at 0 degrees longitude?
The imaginary line at zero degrees longitude is the Prime Meridian. The imaginary line halfway between the poles is the Equator. The Equator is zero degrees latitude.
What is the 0 line of the latitude called?
It is called the "Equator".Zero degrees latitude is called the equator. The equator separates the northern and southern hemispheres of the Earth and is equidistant from the North and South Poles.That is the Equator. The imaginary line at zero degrees longitude is called the Prime Meridian.
What is a zero degree longitude?
Zero degrees latitude is called the equator. It runs around the centre of the earth at the earth's widest point. Ecuador, in South America, is one country on the equator and gets its name from its location. All the points on earth that are equally distant from the north and south poles have a latitude of zero, and they form the line called the "equator".
Is the equator the starting line for measuring longitude?
No. The equator is the main line of Latitude, and how we measure how far North or South we are. The equator is at zero degrees latitude... The North Pole is 90 degrees North; the South Pole is 90 degrees South. Logitude is a measurement about how far we are East or West from Greenwich, England.
Lines of latitude are also called what?
Parallels and meridians. Circles parallel to the Equator (lines running east and west) are parallels of latitude. They are used to measure degrees of latitude north or south of the Equator. Meridians of longitude are drawn from the North Pole to the South Pole and are at right angles to the Equator.
Is the Arctic Circle or the South Pole closer to the Equator?
what is the distance north and south of the equator: Latitude.
What is closer to the equator 64 degrees north latitude 76 degrees west longitude or 22 degrees south latitude 88 degrees west longitude?
The second one, 22°S 88°W, is closer to the equator than 64°N 76°W The lower latitudes are closer to the equator. (0° latitude)
