To the equator. Imagine that you are right at the very center of the earth. As you look through to the earth's surface, you see that as you turn left or right the equator is perfectly, exactly straight ahead. That is zero degrees latitude. As you scan upward you will measure degrees keeping your view of the equator as your base. Half way between the equator and 'straight up' will be 45 degrees north latitude (along with every other point on the circle you can draw parallel to the equator. The north pole, straight up, is 90 degrees north latitude. Again, starting with zero at the equator, you can measure south until you reach the south pole, straight down, at 90 degrees south latitude.

How is distance measured from the Equator?
Distance from the Equator is measured using lines of latitude. The Equator is designated as 0 degrees latitude, and distances are measured in degrees, minutes, and seconds north or south of the Equator.
How is equator different from other latitude?
Every point on the equator is equal distances from the north and south poles. No other line of latitude can make that statement.
Imaginary lines used to measure distances north and south of the Equator are lines of?
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines used to measure distances north and south of the Equator or 0 degrees.
Which are used measure distances north or south of the equator?
lines of latitude
What is the reference line when determining the latitude?
The equator is zero latitude.
Which 2 important lines of latitude are similar distances from the equator?
-- Pick any number between zero and 90. -- That number north latitude and that same number south latitude are equal distances from the equator.
How is distance measured from the Equator?

How is equator different from other latitude?
Every point on the equator is equal distances from the north and south poles. No other line of latitude can make that statement.
What are used to measure distances north and south of the equator?
The lines used to measure distances north and south of the equator are latitude lines. They include the equator (0 degrees latitude) and equidistant circles between the equator and the poles. Latitude lines represent the surface points having the same angle from the equator, and planes perpendicular to the Earth's north-south axis.
Imaginary lines used to measure distances north and south of the Equator are lines of?
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines used to measure distances north and south of the Equator or 0 degrees.
What lines measure the distances from either side of equator to the poles?
Latitude lines
Is the equator parellel or a meridian?
The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude making it a parallel. Distances north and south of the equator are measured from this point.
How do these latitudes' 30 north and 30 south distances from the equator compare?
Both are the same distance from the equator.
Does the equator run threw Kenya?
Yes. Kenya extends almost equal distances north and south of the equator ... from about 4.63° north latitude to 4.67° south latitude.
