No. The equator is the main line of Latitude, and how we measure how far North or South we are. The equator is at zero degrees latitude... The North Pole is 90 degrees North; the South Pole is 90 degrees South. Logitude is a measurement about how far we are East or West from Greenwich, England.
Latitude tells how far north or south a place is from the Equator. Longitude tells how far east or west a place is from the Prime Meridian. These can be remembered because Latitude sounds like Ladder and the lines for Latitude are like rungs in a ladder. Also, Longitude has the word Long in it and east to west is "Long."
Townsville is approximately 1,191 kilometers (740 miles) south of the equator.
