Lines of latitude run parallel to the Equator.
Latitude is horizontal like the steps of a ladder. Latitude and ladder even sound similar.
Latitude is the distance on the earth’s surface, north or south of the Equator, expressed in angular measurements from 0° at the Equator to 90° (North or South). Southern latitudes can also be expressed as negative number where -90° is at the South Pole.
