GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -The latitude AA on the map represents the equator (0 degrees). The latitude AA on the map represents the equator. The imaginary line which divides the Earth into two halves is known as the Equator.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is latitude? Latitude is a measurement on a globe or map of location north or south of the Equator. Technically, there are different kinds of latitude, which are geocentric, astronomical, and geographic (or geodetic), but there are only minor differences between them.

Detailed explanation-3: -The equator is a circle of latitude that divides a spheroid, such as Earth, into the northern and southern hemispheres. On Earth, it is an imaginary line located at 0 degrees latitude, about 40, 075 km (24, 901 mi) in circumference, halfway between the North and South poles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Latitudes are horizontal lines that measure distance north or south of the equator. Longitudes are vertical lines that measure east or west of the meridian in Greenwich, England. Together, latitude and longitude enable cartographers, geographers and others to locate points or places on the globe.
