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.
Distance is not measured in degrees. Temperatures and angles are. The angle north or south between the equator and a place of interest is the latitude of that place.
Declination (positive and negative respectively) is the angular distance between north and south of the Celestial Equator.
It is "A distance north or south of the equator, measured in degrees".But distance is not measured in degrees. The latitude of a place is theangle corresponding to the shortest arc on the Earth's surface betweenthe equator and that place.

latitude is degrees north or south of the equator and Longitude is degrees east or west of Greenwich
The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude making it a parallel. Distances north and south of the equator are measured from this point.
The Antarctic Circle is south of the equator.Southroughly 66.56 degrees south of it
The south pole is 90 degrees south of the equator. The north pole is 90 degrees north of the equator.
