Question

why are north pole and south pole called latitudes when they are points

Answer 1

Answer:

These are called latitudes. Since all these lines are parallel to the equator as well as one another, they are called parallels of latitudes. Latitude is the angular distance of a place from the equator, lying either in the north or in the south directions. It is measured in degrees from the equator toward either pole.
