Question

Explain why there is no higher altitude than 90° north and south

Answer 1

Answer:

Longitude” goes 360 degrees, 180 East to 180 West, to cover the entire 360 degrees around the equator. ... So latitude only has to cover 180 degrees, from the north pole to the south pole. Taking the equator to be 0 degrees, the north pole is 180/2= 90 degrees N, the south pole is 180/2= 90 degrees S.

Explain why there is no higher altitude than 90° north and south

ANSWER -

There is no higher altitude than 90° north and south :-

because of the way these are defined. The Latitude is defined from middle of earth, and drawn parallel to it. So if you virtually cut earth, for every latitude value it will give you a slice of earth. Only at 0 latitude, it gives you two equal halves.
