Question

3 best methods of determining latitude

Answer 1

Latitude measures how far a point is north or south of the equator. Since the earth is round, distance from the equator is measured in angular degrees with the equator being 0 degrees and the northernmost point -- the North Pole -- being at 90 degrees. The southernmost point -- the South Pole -- is also at 90 degrees.Latitude is measured in degrees north when in the northern hemisphere and degrees south when in the southern hemisphere.
