Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Latitude is the angular distance measured in degrees north or south from the equator. Greenwich distance (B) is not a commonly used term in geography or astronomy. Zenith (C) is the point directly above an observer, so it is not a measure of distance north or south of the equator. Longitude (D) is a measure of distance east or west from the Prime Meridian.
