The equator is the origin of latitude.
All latitudes are expressed in terms of an angle north or south of the equator.
Latitude is calculated from the equator, which is designated as 0 degrees latitude. Degrees of latitude increase as you move north or south from the equator, up to a maximum of 90 degrees at the poles.
There are 90 degrees latitude from the equator (zero degrees latitude) to the North Pole.
A line of latitude is the line of latitude shown on a map, usually representing 10 degrees latitude. Degrees of latitude are simply the number of degrees, such as 33.33 etc.
Zero degrees of latitude is the Equator.
East and West technically don't end or begin, but there are lines of latitude that show where the Eastern and Western lines of latitude begin and end. The Prime Meridian, (0 degrees) runs through Greenwich, London, England, and any line of latitude away from it is labeled with the corresponding direction from the Prime Meridian. East and West lines end at 180 degrees, directly opposite the Prime Meridian.
A line of latitude is the line of latitude shown on a map, usually representing 10 degrees latitude. Degrees of latitude are simply the number of degrees, such as 33.33 etc.
0 degrees latitude is the Equator.
Zero degrees latitude is the Equator.
40 degrees. The equator is zero latitude.
A line of latitude is the line of latitude shown on a map, usually representing 10 degrees latitude. Degrees of latitude are simply the number of degrees, such as 33.33 etc.
Co-latitude is calculated by subtracting the latitude from 90 degrees. Therefore, if the latitude is 63.59 degrees, the co-latitude would be 90 - 63.59, which equals 26.41 degrees.
