"negative 30 degrees north" is kind of a fractured description, but if I take it at

its word, then it's exactly the same place as "30 degrees south". So the answer

is that so far, you've given two different descriptions of the same latitude, and

I eagerly await hearing what other latitude you want it compared to.

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.


Above the equator the higher the number of latitude the farther you are?

Yes, that's correct. The latitude lines are measured in degrees, with the equator being at 0 degrees latitude. As you move north of the equator, the latitude values increase, indicating that you are moving farther away from the equator towards the North Pole.


Is Chicago closer to the equator than Denver?

The Equator. Chicago is located at 42 degrees north, the Equator is degrees, and the North Pole is 90 degrees north. Therefore, Chicago is closer to the Equator than the North Pole.


Is 60 degrees N closer to the equator than 50 degrees S?

No.Latitude (the north/south measurement) begins at the equator.So 50 degrees north is 50 degrees from the equator,and 40 degrees south is 40 degrees from the equator.Now can you tell which one is closer to the equator ?


What term is used to find to measure the distance from the equator?

The term used to measure the distance from the equator is "latitude." Latitude is expressed in degrees, with the equator defined as 0 degrees. Locations north of the equator have positive latitude values (up to 90 degrees North), while locations south of the equator have negative latitude values (down to 90 degrees South).

Is 20 degrees Southe closer to the equator or is 10 degrees north?

The "north" and "south" latitude references begin at the equator. So "20 degrees" north or south are both 20 degrees from the equator, and "10 degrees" north or south are both 10 degrees from the equator. 10 is closer to the equator than 20.

Declination (positive and negative respectively) is the angular distance between north and south of the Celestial Equator.
