Is 35 degrees 16 minutes latitude south of 35 degrees 4 minutes latitude?

No. The farther north you go, the greater your north latitude becomes. As you can see, the 16 minutes is greater than the 4 minutes, so the first latitude in the question is farther north than the second one.


When an airplane takes off from a location at 17 degrees south latitude and flies to a mew location 55 degrees due north of its starting point.what latitude has the airplane reached?

When the airplane takes off from 17 degrees south latitude and flies 55 degrees due north, it first crosses the equator (0 degrees latitude) and continues northward. Since it starts at 17 degrees south and moves 17 degrees to reach the equator, it has 38 degrees left to travel north (55 - 17 = 38). Therefore, the airplane reaches a latitude of 38 degrees north.


When plotting a map which comes first latitude or longitude?

Latitude is north/south of the equator measured in a series of degrees. Longitude is east/west, measured by a system of degrees from a fixed spot. So generaly at in a Latitude Longitude reading it will have a N or E. For example 25 01'59.72" N that would be latitude because of the N (meaning North) But in general I believe yes latitude is read first.


What was the significance of 38 degrees north latitude?

32 degrees north latitude18 degrees west longitude 12 degree east 70 degrees south latitude which of the two locations is farther from the equator?

The first one is much closer. The higher the latitude number (N or S), the farther the point is from the equator. The second location 70°S 12°E is more than twice as far from the equator as 32°N 18°W.
