Explanation:

To solve the analogy "Latitude is to equator as ______ is to prime meridian", we analyze the relationships:

• Latitude measures distance north/south of the equator (a reference line for latitude).
• Longitude measures distance east/west of the prime meridian (a reference line for longitude).
