Latitude is your position north or south of the Equator. Lines, or parallels, are drawn around the Earth at intervals. The North Pole is assigned the latitude 90Âº north and the South Pole latitude 90Âº south. Lines of longitude, or meridians, are drawn a little differently.
HOW TO MEASURE LATITUDE. It's possible to measure latitude by comparing your position on Earth with the position of either the sun or the North Star (Polaris). Measurements using the sun are possible on a clear day in the northern or southern hemispheres, when the sun is easy to find.
