latitude
Lines of latitude and longitude are used to form a grid encompassing the globe so that any position can be identified and located. Latitude is used to measure distance north and south of the equator, while longitude is used to measure distance east and west of the prime meridian.
miles
It is called latitude.
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines used to measure distances north and south of the Equator or 0 degrees.
The lines used to measure distances north and south of the equator are latitude lines. They include the equator (0 degrees latitude) and equidistant circles between the equator and the poles. Latitude lines represent the surface points having the same angle from the equator, and planes perpendicular to the Earth's north-south axis.

Some geography terms that are used to refer to earth are altitude, degree, hemisphere, reef, and equator.
To measure the distance on the Earth's surface North or South of the Equator.
longitude and lattitude. longitude measures north and south of the prime merridian lattitude measures east and west of the equator
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.
0 degrees latitude at the equator.
