Question

degrees
example: 5 degrees s
85 degrees n

what zone is this in?
tropics

what latitude area is this in?
low latitudes

Explanation:

For "What zone is this in?" (85 degrees N)

The polar zones (Arctic Circle for Northern Hemisphere, Antarctic Circle for Southern Hemisphere) are typically above 66.5 degrees latitude. 85 degrees N is far north, so it's in the polar zone (specifically the Arctic region, part of the polar zone). The tropics are between 23.5° N and 23.5° S, so 85° N is not in tropics.

Latitude areas: Low latitudes are 0° - 30°, middle latitudes 30° - 60°, high latitudes 60° - 90°. 85° N is within 60° - 90°, so it's in high latitudes.
