Latitude lines
On our Earth, the Equator is comparatively warmer than either of the Poles.
Latitude is the location distance north or south of the equator, measured in degrees from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles.
Yes you do. One degree of longitude spans about 69 miles along the equator, but no distance at all at the poles. The longitudes are evenly distributed around the globe, but they all converge (meet) at both poles. So it's easy to understand why they must draw closer and closer together as you move from the equator to either pole.
The equator is a line made of points at zero latitude and every longitude, andevery longitude converges (comes together) at the poles..

I'm thinking center to equator
Parallels measure distance from the equator to the poles, specifically the North and South Poles. They are lines of latitude, with the equator at 0 degrees latitude and the poles at 90 degrees latitude. Each degree of latitude corresponds to approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers) on the Earth's surface.
No. All of the meridians merge in a single point at the poles.
It is effectively the same distance from both.
The distance from the equator is measured in degrees of latitude, with the equator itself defined as 0 degrees. Latitude ranges from 0 degrees at the equator to 90 degrees at the poles, either north or south. Each degree of latitude corresponds to approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers) on the Earth's surface.
Latitude is the measurement used to determine the distance of a place from the equator. It is expressed in degrees north or south of the equator, ranging from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles.
The term used to measure the distance from the equator is "latitude." Latitude is expressed in degrees, ranging from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. It indicates how far north or south a location is from the equator.
