The starting point for measuring latitude is the equator... zero degrees. There are two terminal points of latitude: 90 degrees north (the true north pole, not the magnetic north pole), and; 90 degrees south (the true south pole, not the magnetic south pole). When measuring latitude the reference point is always the equator, and the numbers are given as (for example) North 40 degrees, 16 minutes, 13 seconds... or in the real world of sailboats & ships: "North 40 decimal 16 decimal 13".
The starting point would be the equator. Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator.
The Equator is the starting point for measuring latitude on maps and globes. It is located at 0 degrees latitude and divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
The equator is labeled as 0 latitude because it is the starting point for measuring latitude north and south. The prime meridian is labeled as 0 longitude because it is the starting point for measuring longitude east and west. This standardization helps provide a universal reference point for location coordinates on Earth.
The equator is one..... Hope this helped!
When measuring one point to another point you are measuring distance.

For Latitude, the Equator is the zero point. For Longitude, the Prime Meridian at Greenwich UK, is the starting point of zero.
A latitude is measured in degrees from the equator to the north (or south) pole. I assume that you mean, "What is the line that forms the zero degrees latitude?" The answer is the Equator.

No. The latitude of a point on Earth is the angle on the surface starting at the equator and measuring north or south to the point of interest. All points on Earth that have the same latitude form a line that displays east-west on a map or globe.

The North and South Hemispheres are divided by the Equator, an imaginary line that circles the Earth at its widest point. The Equator is located at 0 degrees latitude and serves as the starting point for measuring latitude in both directions.
When measuring one point to another point you are measuring distance.
Longitude was historically more difficult to determine than latitude because longitude is determined by measuring time differences between a reference point (such as Greenwich, England) and the observer's location, which required accurate timekeeping devices. Latitude, on the other hand, can be determined by measuring the angle of the North Star or the sun relative to the horizon.
