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.

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.
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 is degrees north or south of the equator and Longitude is degrees east or west of Greenwich
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.
what is the distance north and south of the equator: Latitude.
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.
Latitude
The Equator.
Latitude is how far something is North or South of the Equator.
latitude lines measre how far north and south a location is from the what
True
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'.
Latitude measures the distance, North or South, from the Equator.
The distance it is north or south of the Equator.
