Which is the smallest latitude?

Answer 1

Meridians of longitude are half-circles. All of them have the same length.

Circles of latitude have zero length at the poles, and are longest at the equator.

Answer 2

The latitude with the lowest number is zero ... the latitude of the equator.

The parallel of latitude with the shortest length would be the smallest circle you can

draw around the north or south pole. The latitude at the pole is 90 degrees. Every

circle around the pole is a parallel of latitude. The bigger the circle, the lower the

latitude, until you get to the biggest circle ... the equator ... which is the lowest

latitude ... zero.

So in reality, there's no such thing as the smallest one, because whatever circle you

draw around the pole, no matter how small it is, I can always come along and draw

a smaller circle inside yours.

Answer 3

The Equator at 0 degrees latitude is considered the smallest latitude because it is a reference line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

Answer 4

Zero degrees

Answer 5

It is the Equator (0 latitude).

Answer 6

the Equator
