Detailed explanation-1: -The Equator is the line of 0 degrees latitude. Each parallel measures one degree north or south of the Equator, with 90 degrees north of the Equator and 90 degrees south of the Equator. The latitude of the North Pole is 90 degrees N, and the latitude of the South Pole is 90 degrees S.
Detailed explanation-2: -The correct option is D Equator. The latitude at 0 degrees is called the Equator. It is an imaginary line that divides the earth into northern and southern hemispheres.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lines of latitude start at 0 degrees at the equator and end at 90 degrees at the North and South Poles (for a total to 180 degrees of latitude). Therefore, the higher the value of degree of latitude, the closer it is to the North or South Pole.
