That's exactly the same as asking "How many different lengths are there
on a piece of rope ?"
There's no limit to the possible number of different latitudes. If you name
two different latitudes, then no matter how close together they are, I can
always name a new one that's in between yours.

Are the lines of latitude measured in inches degrees or hours?
Degrees, Minutes and Seconds of arc. Same as longitude.
What is the definition of latitude in geography?
It is "A distance north or south of the equator, measured in degrees".But distance is not measured in degrees. The latitude of a place is theangle corresponding to the shortest arc on the Earth's surface betweenthe equator and that place.
How many degrees are between the north amd south poles?
90. The whole sphere (pole to pole to pole) is 360.
What are latitudes and how do they work?
The geographic latitude of a place is the angle corresponding to the shortest arc on the Earth's surface between the equator and that place.
What is the definition for latitude?
The latitude of a place is the angle corresponding to the shortest arc on the Earth's surface between the equator and that place.
How many minutes are in .5 of latitude or longitude?
1 degree = 60 arc minutes so 0.5 degrees of latitude or longitude is 30 arc minutes.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_and_second_of_arc
How many degrees of longitude of arc on the globe?
All the way around anything that's measured in angles is typically 360 degrees, and the earth is no exception.
The number of degrees of arc that Polaris is above the horizon depends on what?
Your latitude!
Are the lines of latitude measured in inches degrees or hours?
Degrees, Minutes and Seconds of arc. Same as longitude.
Are all lines of latitude circles of 180?
All points on Earth at any single latitude blend together to form a line thatcompletely encircles the globe. If you intend to do any measurements with it,then it'll help to recall that any complete circle subtends 360 degrees of arc.
How many Degrees is 1 arc of the circle?
That will depend on the length of the arc but an arc radian of a circle is about 57.3 degrees
Which ways do lines of latitude run and what do they measure?
Lines of latitude run laterally across the earth from east to west. They measure the degrees of arc north and south of the equator which is at 0 degrees. Washington, DC, lies about 38 degrees North.
How many miles are in a degree a minute and a second?
A degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles, and a minute of latitude ... At a latitude of 45 degrees, a degree of longitude is approximately 49 miles. Minute of arc at equator = 1naut.mile = 6080 feet1 second of arc at equator = 101 1/3 feet.At latitude 'w', the above quantities have a multiplying factorcos w.(101.3333) cos w feet per second of longitudeAt a latitude of 60 degrees (=w)1minute=3040'1second=50 2/3 '
How many arc degrees are there in semicircle?
180x2= 360 degrees
How many arc minutes are there in 0.75 arc degrees?
Just "degree", not "arc degree". A degree has 60 minutes; therefore, to convert from degrees to minutes, you multiply by 60.
How many degrees are in one arc second?
One arc second is one 3600th of a degree.
How do you find the degrees of an arc?
(lenth of arc/circumference)*360 degrees
