Eric is standing closest to the Equator.
Explanation:
The Earth is marked with imaginary lines called parallels (staring from the Equator) and meridians (starting from the prime meridian). Their purpose is to enable easier orientation, as well as measuring absolute location on every part of the planet. The parallels measure the latitude, south and north, while the meridians measure the longitude, east and west.
When it comes to the parallels, they measure latitude north and south from the Equator, which is the main parallel line. The latitude is 0 degrees at the Equator, and it goes to 90 degrees north, thus to the North Pole, and 90 degrees south, thus to the South Pole. Basically, the smaller the latitude, the closer a place is to the Equator, and the larger the latitude, the further away a place is from the Equator.
In this case, Eric is at a location that has the smallest latitude, so he is the closest to the Equator. Keisha is the second closest to the Equator, as the latitude on which she is is the second smallest. Yvette, on the other hand, can not be at a latitude of 110 degrees, as the latitude only goes up to 90 degrees, so it is a misrepresentation.
