Question
- how many total degrees of latitude are there? 90° 180° 360°
Brief Explanations
Latitude measures the distance north or south of the equator. The equator is at 0° latitude. The North Pole is at 90° North latitude and the South Pole is at 90° South latitude. To find the total degrees of latitude, we calculate the distance from the North Pole to the South Pole in terms of latitude degrees. This is the sum of the degrees from the equator to the North Pole (90°) and from the equator to the South Pole (90°), so \(90^{\circ}+ 90^{\circ}=180^{\circ}\).
