When looking at a map, latitude lines run horizontally. Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles (111 km) apart; there is a variation due to the fact that the earth is not a perfect sphere but slightly egg-shaped.
This, along with longitude (the vertical lines), can give someone a precise location of something.
For Latitude, 0° is the equator, 90° North is the North Pole, and 90° South is the South Pole.
For Longitude, Zero degrees longitude is located at Greenwich, England (0°). The degrees continue 180° east and 180° west where they meet and form the International Date Line in the Pacific Ocean.
Hope this helps
What else can I help you with?
What circle of latitude describes the most southerly latitude at which the sun can appear directly overhead at noon?
Tropic of Capricorn
Which term describes how many degrees north or south of the equator?
latitude
What best describes the pressure in a middle-latitude cyclone?
The pressure in a middle-latitude cyclone is lower at the center and higher around the edges. This pressure difference causes the air to spiral inward, creating strong winds and stormy conditions.
Location describes the global address of a place using degree of latitude and longitude?

What definition best describes a parallel of latitude?
any of the imaginary lines on the surface of the earth lying in an east-west direction that are parallels to the equator. they are used as north and south references in navigating and map-making. the equator is the 0 digree parallel of latitudes,the north pole is the 90 digree north latitude,and the geographic south pole is the 90 digree south latitude.
