The equator circles the earth in the east/west direction, so there's no such thing
as 'east' or 'west' of it.
The are measured in degrees Celsius. I am a professor at West Virginia University and I would love to teach other children about geography, because that is what I teach.
Latitude is never more than 90 degrees. The equator is zero, 90 degrees north
of the equator puts you at the north pole, and 90 degrees south of it puts you
at the south pole.

Is latitude from east to west?
No, latitude measures north to south distance from the equator. East to west distance is measured by longitude.
Is latitude the vertical line or horizontal?
Lines of latitude run east-west as circles parallel (or horizontal lines) to the equator. Latitude measures the angle in degrees north or south from the equator where the equator is located at 0 degrees.
Which is the Latitude and which the Longitude?
The one that measures the angle from the equator and is tagged 'north' or 'south' is the latitude. The one that measures the angle from the Prime Meridian and is tagged 'east' or 'west' is the longitude.
What does latitude measure on the equator?
Latitude measures the distance north or south of the equator, with the equator itself designated as 0 degrees latitude.
Which lines measure distance of the prime meridian?
Longitude measures the distance east and west of the prime meridian.
Is latitude from east to west?
No, latitude measures north to south distance from the equator. East to west distance is measured by longitude.
What is used to measure distance from the equator?
Latitude is used to measure distance from the equator. The equator is at 0 degrees latitude, with measurements increasing towards the poles in both the northern and southern hemispheres.
Is latitude the vertical line or horizontal?
Lines of latitude run east-west as circles parallel (or horizontal lines) to the equator. Latitude measures the angle in degrees north or south from the equator where the equator is located at 0 degrees.
What is the country that is east of the equator?
There is no such place as "east of the equator". The equator circles the entire Earth from east to west.
Which is the Latitude and which the Longitude?
The one that measures the angle from the equator and is tagged 'north' or 'south' is the latitude. The one that measures the angle from the Prime Meridian and is tagged 'east' or 'west' is the longitude.
What does latitude measure on the equator?
Latitude measures the distance north or south of the equator, with the equator itself designated as 0 degrees latitude.
Which lines measure distance of the prime meridian?
Longitude measures the distance east and west of the prime meridian.
What is the difforence between longitude and latitude?
Longitude measures the east-west angle between your location and the Prime Meridian.Latitude measures the north-south angle between your location and the equator.
What is the tx measures approxmately miles from east to west?
what is the measures approxmately miles from east to west
What direction do the winds on the equator blow is east to west?
east to west
What does latitude and longitude measure?
Location of a point on the surface of the earth.
How does the equator line run?
The equator is an imaginary line that runs horizontally around the Earth, dividing it into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. It is located at 0 degrees latitude and circles the Earth's surface equidistant from the North and South Poles.
