what is the distance north and south of the equator: Latitude.
Latitude measures the distance from the Equator (both north and south). So, latitude is horizontal, lonitude is vertical.
The North Pole is at 90 degrees north latitude, and the South Pole is at 90 degrees south latitude. So, distance north or south of the equator is called 'latitude'. One way to remember this is to think of the rungs of a ladder. "Ladder"-- "Lati-" you step up or down the 'rungs of ladder-tude'.
The distance north or south of the equator is measured in degrees of latitude. For example, the equator is measured at 0 degrees; Sydney Australia lies 33.51 degrees south of the equator; Helsinki Finland lies 60 degrees north of the equator.
Latitude
The Equator.
Declination measures the number of degrees north or south of the Celestial Equator.
Latitude is imaginary lines that measures distance north or south of the equator. Longitude is imaginary lines that measures distance east and west of a line drawn between the North and South Poles and passing through the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, England.
