Latitude specifies the specific north or south position of a point on the surface of the Earth. Lines of latitude start from the Equator (0 degrees) and work their way up to the North Pole or South Pole (90 degrees). Used with lines of longitude, you can pinpoint the exact location of any point on the surface of the Earth. For example, New York City lies as 40 degrees and 40 minutes North and 73 degrees and 56 minutes West on the surface of the Earth.
