25 Degress North
25 N
25 degrees south (or north) is closer to the equator that 30 degrees north (or south).This has a lot to do with the mathematical fact that 25 is less than 30.The equator is the 'zero' of latitude; 'north' and 'south' start from it.
25 degrees ... north or south ... is closer to the equator than 30 degrees ... north or south.This conclusion is inextricably bound to, and logically dependent on, the fact that 25 is less than 30 .
25 N
30 N because this is closer to the equator
"15 S" is closer to the equator than "40 N" is ... actually regardless of the 'S' or 'N'.
Neither of those is the closest one, but Jerusalem is about 125 miles closer to it than Damascus is.
The one at 30 degrees North - since it's closer to the equator.
Wisconsin is closer to the North Pole than the Equator. Madison, the capital city of Wisconsin, is located at a latitude of about 43 degrees North, which places it closer to the North Pole than the Equator.
The coordinates for Madison, Wisconsin are 43.0731° N, 89.4012° W. This means that you are closer to the Equator than to the North Pole.
The Equator. Chicago is located at 42 degrees north, the Equator is degrees, and the North Pole is 90 degrees north. Therefore, Chicago is closer to the Equator than the North Pole.
A world map will usually show you quickly how far a location is from the equator. But you can also determine it easily from the geographic coordinates. Latitude values get higher as you move away from the equator to the north or south. If a location has a lower numerical value for the latitude (N or S number), it is closer to the equator than those with a higher number.Example :New York City is near 41° N 74° W - New Orleans is near 30° N 90° W - Brasilia, the capital of Brazil is near 16°S 48°W.New Orleans has a lower latitude number (30) than New York (41), meaning it is closer to the equator. But Brasilia has a latitude of (16), meaning it is closer than either of the other cities, although it is south of the equator while the other two are north.
