Longitude runs north and south, latitude runs west to east.
The critical rule for reading a map to determine grid coordinates is to first determine the longitude (vertical lines) and then the latitude (horizontal lines) on the map that intersect at the point of interest. The grid coordinates are then expressed as a combination of the longitude and latitude lines.
Latitude is typically, customarily, traditionally, and commonly listed first, but not always. There's no rule. You're free to write the coordinates in either sequence, as long as you're careful to make clear which is which.
its always listed first!
the degree of polaris on the horizon is your latitude. Shows the curvature of the earth. When the degree of polaris is 1 degree greater, you move the some distance if you move another degree. Shows how everything is equally distant from the center.
The equator is zero latitude.

Latitude is typically, usually, traditionally listed first, before longitude.But that's not a hard and fast rule, and it's not always that way.You're free to list it either way you want to, as long as you make itperfectly clear which number is latitude and which is longitude.

Bergmann's rule correlates colder habitats with larger size in mammals (and birds, and perhaps all animals). Because elephants are much bigger than snowshoe hares, it is modified to say that within similar or related species, those living at a colder latitude are likely to be bigger than those living at a warmer latitude.

The equator is zero latitude.
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.
There are 90 degrees latitude from the equator (zero degrees latitude) to the North Pole.
'Lines' of latitude are often called 'parallels' of latitude.
The latitude of Darwin, Australia is approximately 12.4634° S.
