The equator is the 'zero' of latitude, so the smaller the latitude number is,
the closer it is to the equator.
There's no such thing as the 'closest' or smallest. You can name any latitude
you want to, and no matter how small it is, I can always name a smaller one.
The Equator
No. 90 degrees latitude corresponds to the north and south poles,while the latitude of the equator is zero. So you'd have to say thatthe lowest latitudes are the ones closest to the equator.
Neither of those is the closest one, but Jerusalem is about 125 miles closer to it than Damascus is.
North of the Equator and in the Western Hemisphere of the world.
The city in Mexico closest to the equator is Tapachula, located in the southern state of Chiapas. The city lies at approximately 14 degrees north latitude, making it one of the closest cities to the equator in Mexico.

No, latitude is not an abstract noun. It refers to a measurable geographic coordinate that indicates the distance north or south of the equator.
Neither of those is the closest one, but Jerusalem is about 125 miles closer to it than Damascus is.
They are equally close to the equator.

Argentina extends from about 20° south latitude to about 55° south latitude. The points in Argentina that are closest to the equator are about 1400 miles (2250 km) south of the equator.
The equator is an imaginary line that circles the earth at 0 degrees latitude. Many things lie along that line. The equator is the 'zero' of latitude, so the smaller the latitude number is, the closer it is to the equator. There's no such thing as the 'smallest'. You can name any latitude you want, and no matter how small it is, I can always name a smaller one.
That is the center of the coordinate system, which uses latitude and longitude.
