that would be the equator
Since latitudes run from zero to 90 degrees, and downtown Chicago's latitude is roughly 42 degrees north, you'd have to call that "middle" latitude.
The line of latitude found at 0 degrees is called the equator. It is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
That's the approximate latitude of the Tropic of Cancer.
The location at zero degrees latitude is the Equator, which is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It passes through countries in Africa, South America, and the Pacific Ocean.
There's no city there. "90 degrees south" is the definition of the south pole. There's quite a substantial living structure there, inhabited in shifts by scientists engaged in polar research, but nothing that you could call a city.
