Lines of latitude are measured in degrees north or south of the Equator, 0Â° latitude. In order to more easily understand how this angle is measured it is best to imagine that the Earth has been sliced in half along a great circle. The line connecting the North and South Poles is the Earth's axis of rotation. This is perpendicular, or at 90Â°, to the Equator. At the surface of the Earth, at a given latitude, draw a line from that location to the center of the Earth. The angle between this line and the Equator is the latitude measurement.
Latitude measures how far north or south of the equator a place is located. The equator is situated at 0Â°, the North Pole at 90Â° north (or 90Â°, because a positive latitude implies north), and the South Pole at 90Â° south (or â90Â°). Latitude measurements range from 0Â° to (+/â)90Â°.Longitude measures how far east or west of the prime meridian a place is located.he equator is situated at 0Â°, the North Pole at 90Â° north (or 90Â°, because a positive latitude implies north), and the South Pole at 90Â° south (or â90Â°).
