That's referred to as the star's "declination".
That's the star's "azimuth".
Distance north or south measured in degrees is called latitude.
The distance of a star in degrees on the horizon as measured from true north is referred to as its azimuth. Azimuth is measured clockwise from true north, where 0° corresponds to true north, 90° to east, 180° to south, and 270° to west. This angular measurement helps in locating celestial objects in the sky relative to the observer's position on Earth.
Latitude.
The distance north or south of the equator is measured in degrees of latitude. For example, the equator is measured at 0 degrees; Sydney Australia lies 33.51 degrees south of the equator; Helsinki Finland lies 60 degrees north of 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.
Latitude defines the distance from the equator, measured in degrees north or south.
It is "A distance north or south of the equator, measured in degrees".But distance is not measured in degrees. The latitude of a place is theangle corresponding to the shortest arc on the Earth's surface betweenthe equator and that place.
Latitude. 2nd answer: Latitude is the wrong answer. Distance is measured in miles, feet, yards, meters, kilometers, and so forth. Latitude is a measurement of degrees, not distance.
