The distance from the equator is the angle of latitude. The distance from equator can be measured as magnitude of the latitude.


The equator is at zero degrees latitude and a location north of the equator has a positive latitude value from 0 to +90, whereas a location south of the equator has a negative latitude. For example, a one-degree distance from the equator represents a length of ~111 km (or 60 nautical miles).
