Equator. Rather than distance, it is represented as an angle in degrees and parts of a degree.
The angle is that formed at the center of the earth, between the lines form the center to the equator, and the center to a point north or south on the surface.
Latitude is a horizontal line, on the lines of the equator, such as the Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn and the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. So it would define north or south if that answers your question.
What else can I help you with?
Distance north or south on a map can be measured by what?
lines of latitude
What is the difference between a latitude-longitude map and a military grid reference system map?
Latitude measures the distance from East to West. Longitude measures the distance from North to South. As for Military Grid, it shows a location/object on the map and, what Latitude and Longitude line that location/object is on.
What are the Geographical poles on the earth?
The geographical poles are the North and South Poles. The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
Latitude and longitude is measured in what?
latitude is degrees north or south of the equator and Longitude is degrees east or west of Greenwich
How many degrees of latitude separate the North and South Poles?
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. 180 degrees. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
Distance north or south measured in degrees is called what?
Distance north or south measured in degrees is called latitude.
What is distance north or south of the earth's equator?
Latitude. 2nd answer: Latitude is the wrong answer. Distance is measured in miles, feet, yards, meters, kilometers, and so forth. Latitude is a measurement of degrees, not distance.
Is it true or false that latitude is the distance north or south of the equator?
True. Latitude is the distance north or south of the equator, measured in degrees. The equator is at 0 degrees latitude, with the North Pole being at 90 degrees north latitude and the South Pole at 90 degrees south latitude.
Is the distance north and south of the equator it is noted by?
The distance north and south of the equator is measured in degrees of latitude. The equator is designated as 0° latitude, with measurements increasing to 90° north and 90° south.
Distance north and south of the equator?
Latitude
Latitude is the distance north and south of the what?
The Equator.
What latitude is the distance?
Latitude is how far something is North or South of the Equator.
The Latitude of a place is expressed by its angular distance in relation to the?
Equator. The Latitude of a place is measured in degrees north or south of the Equator.
What does latitude measure on the equator?
Latitude is the angular distance north or south of the equator. Longitude is the angular distance east or west of the equator.
Is Latitude the distance north or south of equator?
True
Measures distance north and south of the equator?
The North Pole is at 90 degrees north latitude, and the South Pole is at 90 degrees south latitude. So, distance north or south of the equator is called 'latitude'. One way to remember this is to think of the rungs of a ladder. "Ladder"-- "Lati-" you step up or down the 'rungs of ladder-tude'.
The location distance north or south of the equator?
Latitude is the location distance north or south of the equator, measured in degrees from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles.
