No line of latitude is a north/south line. A move to the north or south is a change of latitude.
The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude and is labeled as such on maps and globes. It is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
The latitude of the south pole is 90° south.
There is a major line of latitude located at 23.5 degrees south latitude, called the Tropic of Capricorn.
The line you are probably asking about is at 23.5 degrees South latitude, and it is called the Tropic of Capricorn.
The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude and is labeled as such on maps and globes. It is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
No line of latitude is a north/south line. A move to the north or south is a change of latitude.
Any latitude markers that are printed on any map or globe and are between the equator and the south pole must be labeled as "South" latitudes.
The 0 degree east to west line of latitude is called the "equator" it runs round the middle of the Earth and divides North from South.
The latitude of the south pole is 90° south.
There is a major line of latitude located at 23.5 degrees south latitude, called the Tropic of Capricorn.
The line you are probably asking about is at 23.5 degrees South latitude, and it is called the Tropic of Capricorn.
There is no such mark The line of latitude labeled 0° is called the Equator, and forms the boundary between the northern and southern Hemispheres. The line of longitude labeled 0° is called the Prime Meridian. It's one of the two lines that separate the eastern and western Hemispheres.

The latitude at the center of Wellington is about 41.3° South. That's south of the 40 degrees South line of Latitude.
Every possible line that you can imagine that connects the north pole and the south pole is a "meridian" of longitude. It's over 12,000 miles long, and every point on it has the same longitude. Every possible line that you can imagine that goes straight east and west, all the way around the Earth, is a "parallel" of latitude. Its length depends on how close it is to one of the poles, and every point on it has the same latitude.
The capital city of New Zealand, Wellington, is at latitude 41degrees 17 minutes South, and is therefore south of the 40 degrees south line of latitude.
