A location exactly halfway between the equator and north pole has a latitude of how many degrees?
45 degrees North
-------------------------------
The answer "45 degrees North" is incorrect. Since the Earth is an oblate ellipsoid, the actual halfway point lies 16.0385 km north of the 45th parallel. As best I can calculate, based on the WGS84 ellipsoid, this parallel is 45 degrees, 8 minutes, 39.544 seconds North latitude, or 45.14432 degrees North.
45 degrees North lies 4,984.944 km from the Equator, or only 49.84% of the 10,001.966 km to the North Pole. The point specified above lies exactly halfway at 5,000.983 km away.
My estimate is based on the Delambre series for the WGS84 ellipsoid, using the formula m(φ) = 6367449.146φ − 16038.509 sin 2φ + 16.833 sin 4φ − 0.022 sin 6φ + 0.00003 sin 8φ where m(φ) is the distance from the equator and φ is the latitude.

What you the correct terminology for describing the location of the equator?
The correct terminology for describing the location of the equator is "0 degrees latitude."
What location xactly halfway between the equator and the north pole has a latitude of how many degrees?
45 degrees north
How many kilometers is 52 degree north of equator?
The distance from the equator to a location at a certain latitude can be calculated using the formula: Distance = radius of the Earth * arccos(sin(latitude of equator) * sin(latitude of the location) + cos(latitude of equator) * cos(latitude of the location) * cos(0)). For a location 52 degrees north of the equator, the approximate distance would be about 5,723 kilometers.
What is the location of the equator in latitude and longitude?
Zero degrees latitude, any longitude.
What is co-latitude and latitude?
Latitude is the measurement of degrees from the equator to the pole so that the pole has a latitude of 90 degrees. Co-latitude is the measurement of degrees from the pole to the equator so that the equator has a latitude of 90 degrees. Also the sum of latitude and co-latitude is always 90 degrees.

What is co-latitude and latitude?
Latitude is the measurement of degrees from the equator to the pole so that the pole has a latitude of 90 degrees. Co-latitude is the measurement of degrees from the pole to the equator so that the equator has a latitude of 90 degrees. Also the sum of latitude and co-latitude is always 90 degrees.

The zero line of latitude is the equator.
What is the definition for latitude?
Latitude is a measure of how far north or south a location is from the equator, expressed in degrees. It ranges from 0 degrees at the equator to 90 degrees at the poles. It helps in determining the position of a place on the Earth's surface in relation to the equator.
The location distance north or south of the equator?
Latitude is the location distance north or south of the equator, measured in degrees from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles.
