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.
The equator at 0 degrees latitude is the starting point for measuring latitude.
0 degrees north is the Equator, which is an imaginary line that runs around the middle of the Earth, dividing it into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. It is the starting point for measuring latitude.
Non-examples of latitude would include longitude, altitude, and temperature. Latitude specifically refers to the angular distance north or south of the Earth's equator.
The boundary between South Korea and North Korea is known as the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). It is a heavily fortified buffer zone that runs along the 38th parallel north, separating the two countries. It is one of the most heavily guarded borders in the world.
The thirty-second parallel is a circle of latitude that is 32 degrees south of the Earth's equatorial plane. It passes through various countries including Australia, Chile, and South Africa.
True. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 attempted to settle the issue of slavery in newly acquired territories by admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state, while also establishing a line at 36°30' latitude where slavery would be prohibited in future states north of it. However, the underlying tensions over slavery eventually led to its unraveling.
The starting point would be the equator. Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator.
The equator is the starting line for measuring lines of latitude
The equator is the zero reference line for latitude, and the Prime Meridian is the one for longitude.
The equator is the line made up of every point on Earth at zero latitude.
For Latitude, the Equator is the zero point. For Longitude, the Prime Meridian at Greenwich UK, is the starting point of zero.
The longest line of latitude is the equator (0°).
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.
The equator is an imaginary line equidistant from the poles, and is the starting point or 0° in latitude.
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.
the equator
The most northern 'line' of latitude is really a point. 90 degrees latitude north is the north pole.
