LATITUDE The reference point for latitude is the equator. The equator is at latitude oº (zero degree). Starting from the equator going northward the lines of latitude measures 15°N (fifteen degrees north), 30°N, 45°N, 60°N,75 N, and 90°N (North Pole) with equal measurement of 15° per line. If you start from the equator going southward the degree, number, going south is the same as the north. Start your drawing here:
