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.
