It's a description of the location of an imaginary line all the way around the earth.

It means that if you were sitting in a comfortable chair at the center of the earth looking at

the equator, you'd have to rotate your eyes up through an angle of 54 degrees 40 minutes

(that's 54 and 2/3 degrees) to point your eyes at this imaginary line. Then, as the earth

rotated around you, you would see all the places on earth that are located at this latitude.
