The equator is at 0o latitude. The South Pole is at 90o south and the North Pole is at 90o north, for a total latitude difference of 180o.
Since a whole sphere (which is a 3D circle) is 360° any way you slice through the center , From one point to an opposite point (antipodal points) must be half of 360o, or 180o.

Which baseline runs from Earths surface to the North Pole?
Every line of longitude north of the Equator is a baseline that runs on the Earth's surface to the North Pole. Prime here is the Prime Meridian -- 0 degrees.
What baseline runs from any point on the earth's surface to the north pole?
True north runs from any point on the earths surface to the North Pole.
What is the farthest point north of the earths surface?
The North Pole at 90° North. You cannot go any further north.
What the furthest point north on the Earth is called?
The point furthest north on the earth's surface is the point at 90 degrees north latitude, popularly referred to as the "north pole". The point furthest south on the earth's surface is the point at 90 degrees south latitude, popularly referred to as the "south pole".
Which latitude is closer to the earths axis 90 or 40?
40 South is closer to the equater than 80 North. By definition, we start counting degrees of latitude from the equater in two directions: North & South. 40 N & 40 S would be equel distances from the equater.
Which baseline runs from Earths surface to the North Pole?
Every line of longitude north of the Equator is a baseline that runs on the Earth's surface to the North Pole. Prime here is the Prime Meridian -- 0 degrees.
The direct rays of the sun are striking the earths surface at twenty three and a half degrees north what is the date?
July 27th
What baseline runs from any point on earths surface to north pole?
True North
Where do the Suns rays hit Earths surface nearly at right angles?
The Sun's rays can hit Earth's surface at a right angle to the surface, depending on the season, anywhere between the tropics (i.e., between 23.5 degrees north and 23.5 degrees south), at noon, when the Sun is highest in the sky.
What baseline runs from any point on the earth's surface to the north pole?
True north runs from any point on the earths surface to the North Pole.
What is the farthest point north of the earths surface?
The North Pole at 90° North. You cannot go any further north.
Baseline runs from any point on the earths surface to the north pole?
Which baseline runs from any point on earth's surface to the north pole
Where does the earths axis of rotation intersect with the earths surface?
The geographical North and South Pole - not the magnetic poles.
Where would you be standing if you where standing on the northernmost point on the earths surface?
the north pole
Where on Earths surface might you be if you are experiencing the trade winds?
You would be near the equator, between 30 degrees north and south latitude, where the trade winds converge. These winds blow from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere.
What is the significants about the earths axis?
The earth is tilted 23.5 degrees. This is what creates the earths seasons. The two hemispheres (north and south) are always on opposite seasons.
What units do scientists use to locate positions on earths surface?
Initially, degrees, minutes and seconds were used. It is now more common to use degrees with decimal places.
