Neither, both are the same distance from the Equator.
Zaire is farther north. Paraguay's northern border is about 19 degrees south of the equator and Zarie/Republic of Congo's northern border is about 5 degrees and 18 minutes south of the equator.
The first one is much closer. The higher the latitude number (N or S), the farther the point is from the equator. The second location 70°S 12°E is more than twice as far from the equator as 32°N 18°W.
The south pole is 90 degrees south of the equator. The north pole is 90 degrees north of the equator.
30 degrees south is farther from the equator than negative 30 degrees north. The equator is at 0 degrees latitude, so 30 degrees south is closer to the South Pole (90 degrees south) while negative 30 degrees north is closer to the equator.
The "north" and "south" latitude references begin at the equator. So "20 degrees" north or south are both 20 degrees from the equator, and "10 degrees" north or south are both 10 degrees from the equator. 10 is closer to the equator than 20.
No.Latitude (the north/south measurement) begins at the equator.So 50 degrees north is 50 degrees from the equator,and 40 degrees south is 40 degrees from the equator.Now can you tell which one is closer to the equator ?
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.
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude.
The north and south poles (90 degrees north or south of the equator).
Angular distance north or south of the equator is measured in degrees, with 0 degrees at the equator, 90 degrees at the North Pole, and -90 degrees at the South Pole. This measure is known as latitude and helps to indicate a location's position in terms of its distance from the equator along Earth's surface.
It's about 35 degrees south of the equator.
No, 40 degrees south latitude is closer to the equator than 90 degrees north latitude. All latitude originates from the equator, so as the number increases, the further it is away from the equator, regardless of north or south.
