Definition of Latitude
- Latitude and longitude are two coordinates that, together, tell you exactly where you are on the Earth. Latitude tells you where you are between the North Pole and the South Pole. The equator is zero degrees, the North Pole is 90 degrees North, and the South Pole is 90 degrees South, and in between is in between.
- Other important parallels include the Tropic of Cancer (at 23.4 degrees North), the Tropic of Capricorn (at 23.4 degrees South), the Arctic Circle (at 66.5 at degrees North), and the Antarctic Circle (at 66.5 degrees South). And here are a few other examples: Houston, Texas, is at 30 degrees North; whereas Manchester, England, is 53.4 degrees North; and Oulu, Finland, is 60 degrees North. Wellington, New Zealand, on the other hand, is 41 degrees South.
- An example would be the equator, which is at zero degrees of latitude. Other important parallels include the Tropic of Cancer (at 23.4 degrees North), the Tropic of Capricorn (at 23.4 degrees South), the Arctic Circle (at 66.5 at degrees North), and the Antarctic Circle (at 66.5 degrees South).
