उत्तर
- Latitude is the angular distance of a place north or south of the Equator, measured in degrees (°).
- The Equator is 0° latitude, and latitudes are measured from 0° to 90° North and 0° to 90° South.
- It also states that the distance from the Equator to 90° is about one-fourth of Earth’s circumference (≈ 140,000 km).
- And it correctly mentions that 1° of latitude ≈ 111 km (or 69 miles).
