The position north or south of the Equator measured in degrees is called "Latitude."
The position north or south of the Equator measured in degrees is called Latitude. To determine the latitude of a location, you need to find out how many degrees it is away from the Equator. The Equator itself has a latitude of 0 degrees, and the latitude increases as you move north or south from the Equator. The range of latitude goes from 0 degrees at the Equator to 90 degrees at the North and South Poles. So, to find the latitude of a specific location, you can use maps, GPS devices, or online tools that provide these coordinates.
