The North Pole is at 90° north latitude, which is as far north as you can go.
Latitude is the location distance north or south of the equator, measured in degrees from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles.
The distance from the equator to a location at a certain latitude can be calculated using the formula: Distance = radius of the Earth * arccos(sin(latitude of equator) * sin(latitude of the location) + cos(latitude of equator) * cos(latitude of the location) * cos(0)). For a location 52 degrees north of the equator, the approximate distance would be about 5,723 kilometers.
Latitude and longitude are angles, and are stated in degrees and fractions of degrees.
The location of a place on Earth is described by its latitude and longitude coordinates. Latitude measures how far north or south a location is from the Equator, which is 0 degrees latitude. The Equator is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere.
There isn't much difference between the terms when the they are applied to maps. When an x-y co-ordinate system is overlaid onto a map with the x axis on the equator, the north latitudes, those lines parallel to the equator and which are drawn around the globe above it, or north of it, can be called northings instead of north latitudes.

Lines of latitude measure the distance north and south of the equator, which is the imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude.
The Latitude gives the location of a place on Earth north or south of the equator.
The angle from the equator north or south to any point on Earthis the 'latitude' of that point.
Lines of latitude run east-west and measure north-south.
The distance from the equator is the angle of latitude. The distance from equator can be measured as magnitude of the latitude.The equator is at zero degrees latitude and a location north of the equator has a positive latitude value from 0 to +90, whereas a location south of the equator has a negative latitude. For example, a one-degree distance from the equator represents a length of ~111 km (or 60 nautical miles).

90 degrees north latitude is the north pole. The equator is zero latitude.
