Question

explain why there is no higher latitude other than 90 degree North and South

Answer 1

The latitude of an arbitrary point is the angle between the equatorial plane and the radius to that point. By this definition, the latitude of north or south pole would be 90 degrees w.r.t. the equator. Hence no higher angle than 90 degrees north or south

Answer 2

Answer:

Here's ur Answer Mate:-

Latitude is the angular distance from the plane of the Equator. Latitude only has to cover 180 degrees, from the North Pole to the South Pole. All circles make a maximum angle of 900 from the plane of the Equator. Therefore the maximum, latitude is 900 N in the Northern hemisphere and 900 S in the Southern Hemisphere.
