Question

1. in degrees, what is earth’s farthest point south?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall geographic concepts

The Earth's farthest point south (southernmost point) in terms of latitude is the South Pole. The latitude of the South Pole is defined as \( -90^\circ \) (or simply \( 90^\circ \) South).

Answer:

The Earth's farthest point south (in terms of latitude) is \( 90^\circ \) South (or \( -90^\circ \) in latitude measurement), so the answer is \( 90^\circ \) (when referring to the southern latitude, it is \( 90^\circ \) S, but in terms of the degree value for the farthest south point, it is \( 90^\circ \)).
