Latitudes farther from the equator have higher numbers.
The equator is 'zero' latitude, and the poles are 90 degrees
north and south.

Why there are 181 parallels latitudes?
This is because there are 90 latitudes above the equator, 90 latitudes below the equator and one is the equator itself.....so when we add them up (including the equator) we get 181.
What has a colder climate high latitudes or low latitudes?
places in low latitudes have hot climate and places in high latitude have cold climates because in high latitude its farther away from the equator which makes it colder.
Why equator is ideal basis for all latitudes?
Because its the foundation for the all latitudes and all latitudes start to originate up and down from the equator.
How latitudes are measured?
by the equator
Why are there 181 lines of latitudes?
90 north latitudes + 90 south latitudes + 1 line of equator
How many latitudes are there in total?
there are 181 latitudes.90 latitudes above equator+90 latitudes below the equator +equator.90+90+1=181
Regions on the equator where surface winds are very calm are called what?
This area is called the Doldrums. Horse Latitudes are farther north.

Why do latitudes closer to the equator have warmer climates?
Latitudes closer to the Equator have warmer climates because they receive direct sunlight and therefore, the latitudes get evidently heated. :)
Why are there 181 lines of latitudes?
90 north latitudes + 90 south latitudes + 1 line of equator

How many miles are meridians spaced?
Meridians are not evenly spaced. They are closer together at extreme latitudes, and farther apart near the equator. Near the equator, each minute of longitude is approximately one nautical mile (6076 feet). At other latitudes, the number of nautical miles between minutes of longitude is approximately the cosine of the latitude.
Does grasslands have a lot of snow?
If the grasslands are located at latitudes close to the equator, the grasslands may get little or none. The farther away from the equator the colder it gets, so the more snowfall they will recieve. And then it also depends on depends on whether it is Winter or Summer there.
In which latitudes would you expect to find the warmest temperatures?
The latitudes that are around the equator are the latitudes that usually have the warmest temperatures. Countries and cities around the equator usually experience sunshine all year round.
