the magnetic field of earth is parallel to the earth surface
The equator is zero latitude.
This phenomenon is due to "dip" or declination of the magnetic lines of force and vary with latitude. Only at the magnetic equator are the lines of force parallel to the surface.
I believe it dates back to when the North Star was used to find latitude by ancient sailors. Degrees latitude was found by the angle between the North Star and the horizon. Since the North Star sits on the horizon at the equator the angle is zero therefore latitude is zero degrees.
Yes cause the equator and prime meridian meet at every angle there because the earth is a sphere but that doesn't mean it is 0 degrees every were in the world
0 degrees latitude is called the Equator. 0 degrees longitude is called the Prime Meridian

Latitudes are parallel lines around the earth, parallel with the equator and marking the same distance from the equator. They are referred to as the angle made at the centre of the earth, from the equator to the point in question. The poles are at ninety degrees from the equator, so the maximum angle for any parallel of latitude, is 90 degrees. The equator is at zero.
The equator is the definition of zero latitude.

The Moon's equator; on average, the Sun will be at a higher angle there.The Moon's equator; on average, the Sun will be at a higher angle there.The Moon's equator; on average, the Sun will be at a higher angle there.The Moon's equator; on average, the Sun will be at a higher angle there.
The latitude of the equator is zero degrees. North latitude is measured northward beginning at the equator. South latitude is measured southward beginning at the equator.Yes, the equator is the line of zero degrees latitude.0 there is none it is zero!Zero degrees (by definition).0 degreesThe equator is at 0 degrees latitude.
