A latitude is measured in degrees from the equator to the north (or south) pole. I assume that you mean, "What is the line that forms the zero degrees latitude?" The answer is the Equator.
0 degrees north is the Equator, which is an imaginary line that runs around the middle of the Earth, dividing it into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. It is the starting point for measuring latitude.
Non-examples of latitude include longitude, which measures the east-west position on the Earth's surface, and altitude, which measures the height above sea level. Additionally, temperature and population are not examples of latitude, as they represent different characteristics or measurements. In essence, latitude specifically refers to the angular distance north or south of the equator.
The boundary between South Korea and North Korea is known as the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). It is a heavily fortified buffer zone that runs along the 38th parallel north, separating the two countries. It is one of the most heavily guarded borders in the world.
it is the line that divides northern USA from Southern Canada
True. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 attempted to settle the issue of slavery in newly acquired territories by admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state, while also establishing a line at 36°30' latitude where slavery would be prohibited in future states north of it. However, the underlying tensions over slavery eventually led to its unraveling.
The Equator is the starting point for measuring latitude on maps and globes. It is located at 0 degrees latitude and divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
The equator is the line made up of every point on Earth at zero latitude.
The equator is the zero reference line for latitude, and the Prime Meridian is the one for longitude.
For Latitude, the Equator is the zero point. For Longitude, the Prime Meridian at Greenwich UK, is the starting point of zero.
The starting point would be the equator. Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator.
The longest line of latitude is the equator (0°).
No. The latitude of a point on Earth is the angle on the surface starting at the equator and measuring north or south to the point of interest. All points on Earth that have the same latitude form a line that displays east-west on a map or globe.

The equator ... the line that contains every point on Earth with zero latitude ...is the longest parallel.
Latitude.
The point where they cross is zero latitude / 180° longitude.
The equator is an imaginary line equidistant from the poles, and is the starting point or 0° in latitude.
