Question

what are the lines latitude and longitude also called

Answer 1

The equator's line of latitude is marked by 0 degrees. When writing latitude and longitude, use the symbol "°" to indicate degrees. As you move north ofthe equator, lines of latitude increase by one degree until they reach 90 degrees. The 90 degree mark is theNorth Pole.

Latitude. Lines of latitude measure north-south position between the poles. The equator is defined as 0 degrees, the North Pole is 90 degrees north, and the South Pole is 90 degrees south. Lines of latitude are all parallel to each other, thus they are often referred to as parallels.
