If the latitude is 63.59 what is the co-latitude?

Co-latitude is calculated by subtracting the latitude from 90 degrees. Therefore, if the latitude is 63.59 degrees, the co-latitude would be 90 - 63.59, which equals 26.41 degrees.

Were latitude the only control of temperature the isotherms would run straight across the maps from east to west?

Yes, if latitude were the only control of temperature, isotherms would run straight across maps from east to west. This is because temperature tends to decrease as you move away from the equator towards the poles, resulting in a more consistent temperature pattern along lines of latitude. Other factors such as altitude, proximity to bodies of water, and ocean currents also influence temperature patterns.
