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.
lines of latitude
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.
Distance north or south measured in degrees is called 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.
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.
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.
Latitude
The Equator.
Latitude is how far something is North or South of the Equator.
Equator. The Latitude of a place is measured in degrees north or south of the Equator.
Latitude is the angular distance north or south of the equator. Longitude is the angular distance east or west of the equator.
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 is the location distance north or south of the equator, measured in degrees from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles.
