What is the definition for lines of latitude?

Answer 1

A line of latitude is the distance north/south from the equator, and they are always parallel to each other, which is another name used to refer lines of latitude, "parallels." It starts at 0 degrees, and goes to 90 degrees for both north and south.

Answer 2

Latitude is the north/south angle between the equator and a place of interest on

the Earth's surface. If you also have a number that tells its east/west position ...

such as for example the number called 'longitude' ... then the location of the place

is precisely defined.

"Lines" of latitude are a convenience, often printed on a map or globe and often

not. Like the marks on a ruler, they have no real significance and no effect on the

latitude itself.

Answer 3

A line of latitude is an imaginary horizontal line that runs through the earth.

Answer 4

freedom from normal restrictions or limitations
