Right answer: Latitude
Latitude is the angular distance between the equatorial line, and a specific point on the Earth. It is measured in degrees, between [tex]0\°[/tex] and [tex]90\°[/tex] and can be represented in two ways:
-Indicating to which hemisphere the coordinate belongs, for example [tex]30\°[/tex] North or [tex]30\°[/tex] South.
-Adding positive sign when is the north and negative sing when is the south; for example [tex]30\°[/tex] (to indicate that it is to the north) or [tex]-30\°[/tex] (to indicate that it is to the south)
That is to say: According to the hemisphere in which the point is located, it can be north or south latitude.
It should be noted that latitude is one of the important elements for locating a point on the Earth's surface through geographic coordinates.
