The definition of zero latitude, from which all others are measured, is the equator.
the equator
That's the equator . . . the line comprised of all points with zero latitude.
A latitude is measured in degrees from the equator to the north (or south) pole. I assume that you mean, "What is the line that forms the zero degrees latitude?" The answer is the Equator.
Prime meridian, from which longitude is measured both east and west, is the main line of longitude.
The starting line for measuring latitude is the Equator (0 degrees latitude), while the starting line for measuring longitude is the Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude), which runs through Greenwich, England.
The equator is the origin (the zero) of latitude.Latitude is measured in angles, not lines.
No, latitude is not another name for the equator. The equator is a specific line of latitude at 0 degrees, and latitude refers to the angular distance north or south of the equator measured in degrees.
