If they were real lines on the ground, and if you could see them from there,
then I suppose they would all look like circles of different sizes, with your feet
at the center of every one.
Latitude lays flat and spiders have long legs
The 60th parallel of north latitude crosses Alaska, something like 80 miles south of Anchorage and 115 miles north of Juneau. That means that 90% of the state or more is located north of 60°, and only the small part that remains is south of that latitude.
Latitude tells how far north or south a place is from the Equator. Longitude tells how far east or west a place is from the Prime Meridian. These can be remembered because Latitude sounds like Ladder and the lines for Latitude are like rungs in a ladder. Also, Longitude has the word Long in it and east to west is "Long."
I guess it could be Japan. What are the longitudinal coordinates that go along with 40 degrees N latitude?
A point on the earth's surface that's 19 degrees north of the equator has a latitude of 19 degrees north. There are an infinite number of points that are all 19 degrees north of the equator. If you mark a little tiny dot on the globe at a few thousand different points that are all 19 degrees north of the equator, they'll start to look like a solid line on the globe. That line is called the "19th parallel" of north latitude.

-- All of Canada is 100% totally north of 41.6765° north latitude, as well asany latitude south of that.-- It's difficult to estimate from the world map, but it looks like 50% or more ofCanada's land area is north of any latitude south of roughly 58° or 59° north.

Cape Cod, Massachusetts is at approximately 41 degrees north latitude, 70 degrees west longitude. It juts out into the Atlantic like a giant fishhook on the northeastern coast of the U.S.

That land form is the state of Masuchussetts.
