Can you find the exact location of a place on a globe by using only the latitude? What about the north and south poles?

no we can't find the places using only latitude. but in case of north and south pole we can find exact location as they are only points and their latitudes are 90° north and 90°south respectively.

The exact location of a place on a globe cannot be found only with the help of latitudes.

EXPLANATION:

For determining the 'position' or 'location' of any place, latitudes as well as longitudes are required. These imaginary lines form a grid on the globe and this helps in locating the exact 'location of a place'.

North Pole and South Pole can be located using latitudes because they are located at exactly 90 degrees latitude. 'North Pole' is located at 90 degree north latitude and South Pole at 90 degree latitude south.
