The starting point for measuring latitude is the equator... zero degrees. There are two terminal points of latitude: 90 degrees north (the true north pole, not the magnetic north pole), and; 90 degrees south (the true south pole, not the magnetic south pole). When measuring latitude the reference point is always the equator, and the numbers are given as (for example) North 40 degrees, 16 minutes, 13 seconds... or in the real world of sailboats & ships: "North 40 decimal 16 decimal 13".

What is the starting point for measuring latitude?
The starting point would be the equator. Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator.
When measuring one point to another what are you measuring?
When measuring one point to another point you are measuring distance.
What is the center of latitude?
All points that are exactly mid-way between the north and south poles are centered between the extremes of latitude, and they're assigned the latitude of zero. There are an infinite number of them, and if you draw all of them on a map, they blend together to form a line, which is called the "equator".
What is a a line of latitude called?
90 degrees. That far north of the equator brings you to the north pole, while that far south of the equator brings you to . . . . . wait for it . . . . . you guessed it . . . . . the south pole.

Do latitude units go east and west?
No. The latitude of a point on Earth is the angle on the surface starting at the equator and measuring north or south to the point of interest. All points on Earth that have the same latitude form a line that displays east-west on a map or globe.
When measuring one point to another what are you measuring?
When measuring one point to another point you are measuring distance.

What is the Ending point of a vector?
Vectors are identified by magnitude, or the length of the line, and direction, represented by the arrowhead pointing toward the terminal point. The position vector has an initial point at (0,0) and is identified by its terminal point ⟨a,b⟩.
