The equator is the frame of reference point horizon idk( frame of reference, point, horizon, idk ) for the latitude line.
Line of latitude are numbered from 10 degrees 0 degrees 302 degrees 180 degrees( 10 degrees, 0 degrees, 302 degrees, 180 degrees ) at the equator to 90 degrees 180 degrees 40 degrees 60 degrees( 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 40 degrees, 60 degrees ) N.L. at the North Pole.
