b. are designated by being East or West from an origin;
c. are of equal length;

Answer 1

Lines of latitudes become shorter away from equator.

The latitude coordinate system Earth gives the distance north or south of the equator.

It is measured in degrees.

Latitude is represented by the Greek letter phi ϕ. It is usually used along with a measurement of longitude in order to pinpoint a location on the Earth.

The equator is numbered at 0 degrees.

Everything north or south of the equator is designated either as north latitude or south latitude.
