Degrees. They are measured in degrees, minutes, seconds and fractions of a second, depending on the accuracy required
degrees
Lines of latitude Have flatitude. Longitudinal lines Rise like porcupines.
The equator is the origin (the zero) of latitude.Latitude is measured in angles, not lines.
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.

lines of latitude
The equator is the origin (the zero) of latitude.Latitude is measured in angles, not lines.
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: East-west Longitude: North-south
latitude runs East to west. Longitude runs north to south. In other words, the lines of latitude are measured in degrees north and south of the equator and lines of longitude are measured in degrees east and west of the prime meridian.
The direction of latitude is horizontal, while longitude is up and down. Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator.
