The equator circles the earth in the east/west direction, so there's no such thing

as 'east' or 'west' of it.

The are measured in degrees Celsius. I am a professor at West Virginia University and I would love to teach other children about geography, because that is what I teach.

Latitude is never more than 90 degrees. The equator is zero, 90 degrees north

of the equator puts you at the north pole, and 90 degrees south of it puts you

at the south pole.
