Southern latitudes can also be expressed as negative number where -90° is at the South Pole. Lines of latitude run parallel to the Equator.

LONGITUDES-Longitude is the measurement east or west of the prime meridian. Longitude is measured by imaginary lines that run around the Earth vertically (up and down) and meet at the North and South Poles. These lines are known as meridians. ... The distance around the Earth measures 360 degrees.
