"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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ?
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).
Neither, both are the same distance from the Equator.

Zaire is farther north. Paraguay's northern border is about 19 degrees south of the equator and Zarie/Republic of Congo's northern border is about 5 degrees and 18 minutes south of the equator.

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.
The reason is because in the North it is farther than the equator so the farther the equator is the colder it is. In addition, Australia is closer to the equator
90 degrees north latitude is the north pole. The equator is zero latitude.
Sixty degrees north is 60 degrees away from the Equator.
The degrees north of the equator for Turkey is between 37* and 42* north of the equator. This is a distance of 2500 miles.
