The angle between the north star and the horizon is roughly your position in degrees latitude.
For example, look at the North Star and point one arm straight at it, and then hold your other arm level with the horizon. The angle between your arms is roughly the degrees of latitude of your location.

There isn't much difference between the terms when the they are applied to maps. When an x-y co-ordinate system is overlaid onto a map with the x axis on the equator, the north latitudes, those lines parallel to the equator and which are drawn around the globe above it, or north of it, can be called northings instead of north latitudes. Got a link posted.
90 degrees north
The latitude position 90 degrees north would be the North Pole.
No, that latitude is just north of the Arctic Circle, which is at about 66.56° north latitude.
north or south of the equator
The latitude position 90 degrees north would be the North Pole.
Any latitude between 44.36° North and 49° North is the latitude of one or more places that are somewhere in Montana.
Any latitude between 41.73° North and 83.21° North is the latitude of one or more places that are somewhere in Canada.
Latitude and longitude are measured in degrees, with latitude representing north-south position and longitude representing east-west position on the Earth's surface.
It has no opposite. The complimentary term is latitude.
Latitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the north-south position of a point on the Earth's surface.
