How many latitude lines are there?
Correct answer: B. 180
- A. 90
- B. 180
- C. 270
- D. 360
Explanation
In the standard geographic convention, latitude is measured from 0° at the Equator to 90° north and 90° south, giving 180 degrees of latitude. Strictly speaking, infinitely many parallel lines can be drawn between these degree marks, so the question uses “lines” loosely.
